In the coming period, VBNL will enter into discussions with the government to see how the ever-growing group can also be provided with food in the future. The organization will also ask donors, such as supermarket chains and manufacturers, whether they can donate more food items. They supply less, because they have taken measures against food waste, among other things. This leaves less for the food banks. Wijnbelt says that he also supports this approach, “but it should not be at the expense of people who are hungry”.
