Welcome to the ThanksGiver Schweiz Blog!

Here, food is more than just nourishment — it’s connection, responsibility, and possibility. Every year in Switzerland, 2.8 million tons of food end up wasted, while thousands of households struggle to put meals on the table.

That gap drives our work: turning excess into access.

Reducing food waste is one of the simplest ways to care for people and the planet.

Through our weekly food banks, we make sure high-quality surplus food reaches those who need it most. But our mission goes further.

This space is about sharing ideas, recipes, and practical tips that help everyone cook smarter, waste less, and live more sustainably.

Expect inspiration from simple, healthy meals made with rescued ingredients. Learn how small changes in the kitchen can cut waste and save money. Discover stories about community, resilience, and what’s possible when we rethink our relationship with food.

Because when good food is shared, everyone wins.
