Ruoka-apu.fi – National Food Aid Event Calendar
Ruoka-apu.fi is a nationwide service maintained by Kirkkopalvelut ry, which compiles announced food aid events and communal meals from across Finland. It serves both those seeking food aid and those organizing it, as well as food donors.
Event information is provided by registered operators such as associations, parishes, and municipalities. Each event listing includes detailed information and direct contact persons.
School Surplus Food Distribution
The Finnish Red Cross (SPR) volunteers distribute surplus lunch food on weekdays at six different school units in Turku. The distribution is open to everyone, and food is given into the recipients’ own containers.
Surplus food is also distributed in several nearby municipalities, such as Kaarina, Lieto, Raisio, Naantali, Masku, Sauvo, and Nousiainen.
