Joining the Banco's network
The food we recover is handed over free of charge to our partner organisations: parishes, associations, social cooperatives and public bodies that support people in need on an ongoing basis. Here you will find the requirements, the documents and the procedure for each kind of organisation.
A route for every kind of organisation
The agreement with the Banco delle Opere di Carità is free and involves no payment of any kind. Only the documents to be submitted change, according to the legal nature of the organisation.
Choose the route that matches your organisation: each page explains, step by step, what is needed and where to send it.
Associations, foundations, volunteer organisations and any other non-profit body that assists people in need. Seven documents, entirely online.
Cooperatives that have already been distributing food for at least one year. Ten documents, including the company registry extract and the title to the premises.
Parishes, religious congregations and communities of consecrated life. First a request by fax, then the application on the portal with six documents.
Municipalities, provinces, local health authorities and other public administrations. Eight documents, including the personal-data form.

Who can join
To be allowed to collect food, an organisation must meet four conditions. They apply to every route and are checked against the documents submitted.
Charitable, non-profit purpose
The organisation works solely for social purposes and does not distribute profits to its members.
Ongoing support for people in need
It provides stable, not occasional, food assistance to people in need.
Free distribution
The food received from the Banco is handed out without any contribution from the people assisted.
Complete paperwork
The application must include every document required by the chosen route. Incomplete applications are not considered.
Who cannot join
- Facilities accredited with the public administration, such as reception centres and family homes, that receive fees paid out of public funds.
- Facilities whose residents are required to pay a fee for the services they receive.
- Organisations with commercial aims, or that share profits among their members.
After the assessment
Sending the paperwork is not binding: each application is assessed individually. If the outcome is positive, the organisation's President is invited to the Banco's offices to sign the agreement and receives the practical instructions for collections.
The procedure in four steps
Everything takes place on the Banco's registration portal, except for the signing of the agreement, which is done in person. Church bodies first send a request by fax.
Choose your route

If the application is accepted, the President signs the agreement at the Banco's offices and collections begin.
