The Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) was established to tackle hunger, reduce food wastage and provide emergency food solutions through its network of Food banks across Lagos State. LFBI aims to achieve its goals by creating, supplying, and strengthening new food banks in all the twenty (20) Local Governments Areas in Lagos State. LFBI works with religious organizations, corporate entities, and individuals to achieve their main objectives. LFBI's main targets are seniors aged 50 years and above; children aged 5–16 years; the vulnerable, the destitute; extremely indigent families and widows.[1][2][3][4][5]
