Service Partners! 14. What is the purpose of this service partnership? The service partnership between The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) and Rotary International (RI) provides a way to collaborate by combining resources to combat the issues of hunger and food insecurity through food banking. Rotarians can: Volunteer to help at an existing food bank; Organize food collection drives; Donate food and grocery products, equipment, and services to a food bank; and Assist in creating a food bank where needed by coordinating introductions and support between GFN and Rotary leaders in cities where start-up activities are taking place and aligning food banking systems with local resources, governments, and partners.19 15.
