What Banco de Alimentos de Morelos does

Banco de Alimentos de Morelos (BAMX Morelos), legally Banco de Alimentos de Cuernavaca, A.C., is a nonprofit civil association founded in October 1998 and headquartered in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. The organization operates a food rescue and redistribution model, collecting surplus edible food from supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, agricultural producers, and industrial facilities; classifying and packaging it; and distributing food packages (10-12 kg balanced bundles) to vulnerable families across 17 municipalities in Morelos and Guerrero. It serves 15,483 beneficiaries across 53 communities and 32 institutions in 2025.

The organization runs a multi-program ecosystem centered on Paquetes Alimentarios (food packages), supplemented by sponsorship (Apadrina una Familia at MX$240/month), volunteer programs, the Comer en Familia nutrition education curriculum, FACERS promoter outreach, and event-driven campaigns such as Despecho que Alimenta and Compartamos la Cena. Underlying technology is a GoHighLevel/LeadConnector-hosted fundraising platform integrated with PayPal and Stripe payment processors, plus a standard website (bamxmorelos.org) and active social media presence.

BAMX Morelos is a donation-driven nonprofit with five revenue streams: individual donations (MX$100-1,000), corporate donations (MX$500-2,000 monthly tiers), modest package recovery fees (MX$120 standard, MX$60 reduced, MX$0 scholarship), special campaigns, and in-kind corporate contributions. It holds Donataria Autorizada status from SAT, CLUNI registration, and DIF Nacional/Estatal certifications, and is a member of the Red Nacional de Bancos de Alimentos de México. Strategic corporate partners include Oxxo, Mapfre, Bridgestone, and Alsea, supporting employee volunteering and co-branded campaigns.

Core offering

Banco de Alimentos de Morelos rescues edible surplus food from supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, agricultural producers, and industrial facilities, then classifies, packages, and redistributes it as balanced food packages to vulnerable families in Morelos and Guerrero. It supplements food distribution with community nutrition education (Comer en Familia), monthly family sponsorships (Apadrina una Familia), volunteer engagement, advocacy campaigns for food waste legislation, and event-based fundraising.

Product overview

Banco de Alimentos de Morelos operates a multi-program food assistance ecosystem rather than a single product. The core offering centers on food rescue and distribution (Paquetes Alimentarios), supplemented by sponsorship (Apadrina una Familia), volunteering, and community education (Comer en Familia). Supplementary programs include donation campaigns (Arroz y Frijol, Donativos Especiales), advocacy campaigns (Campaña de Firmas), and fundraising events (Despecho que Alimenta, Compartamos la Cena). The organization also recruits and trains solidary promoters (FACERS) to expand community outreach. Together these programs form a comprehensive approach to food security, combining direct food assistance with education, advocacy, and community engagement.
