Skånemejerier has donated over 260 tons of food to Skåne Stadsmission since 2020.
Over the past year, Skåne Stadsmission has seen an increasing number of people falling into food poverty, which has led to a growing need to actively work against this. Skånemejerier is one of Skåne Stadsmission’s largest donors, and since the collaboration began in 2020, Skånemejerier has donated a total of 260 tons of food.
– Skåne Stadsmission’s work is needed more than ever today. Food poverty is a growing problem and a significant contributing factor to social vulnerability. Being one of their food donors is a partnership that is close to our hearts and one that we want to continue developing in the future, says Anette Gregow, Communications and Sustainability Director at Skånemejerier.
Most recently, in June, Skånemejerier donated around 4,600 packages of chocolate milk, a surplus from Kalvinknaten, the yearly sports event for children.
In addition to food donations, Skånemejerier also supports Skåne Stadsmission financially and through volunteer work for various organized activities, such as the organization’s summer party and Christmas gift shop.
Skåne Stadsmission operates surplus food stores in Malmö and Helsingborg. The mission also runs cafés for the socially vulnerable and provides counseling services for anyone under 30 years old.
