Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to examine the donators’ characteristics and donative foods of both governmentdominant
and non-governmental food bank program, to understand the problems and benefits of food bank program, and
to find the solutions to activate food bank program. The questionnaires were distributed to 120 food bank operators and 3
donators were selected from each food bank for the survey from April 2002 to May 2002. 118 sheets (32.8%) from
government-dominant food bank and 53 sheets (20.1%) from non-governmental food bank were collected. The main
results of this study were as follows: The largest donators to either government-dominant or non-governmental food bank
programs were bakery and confectionery companies 31.4% and 45.3% respectively. The majority of donated foods were
“goods in stock” (55.6%) and frequency of donation were largely on a daily basis (27.1% for government-dominant and
22.6% for non-governmental). Some of the donators who had more donative food did not donate, and the reasons were
closeness to expiration date of food (67.3%), lack of legal protection in the event of food poisoning (54.5%), and poor
public image of food related accidents (52.3%). (Korean J Community Nutrition 11(5) : 618 ~ 628, 2006)
