This study aims to investigate the procedures and actions adopted by the Mesa Brasil Sesc food bank, during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to ensure the maintenance of activities to combat food and nutritional insecurity. It's based on the literature that directly relates the issue of sustainability with food security and the achievement of the goals of the 2030 Agenda, insofar as access to adequate food is a basic condition for human survival. This study is characterized as an applied research, as it generates knowledge for practical application. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, based on the analysis of interviews, documents and reports from the Mesa Brasil Sesc program, from Porto Alegre/RS. The main results indicate that the program was successful in its actions due to its timing and structure. The relevant contribution of food banks as a promoting agent for the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda is also evident. This research makes a contribution to the literature on sustainable development and food insecurity, while empirically examining whether food banks are significant actors in the fight against hunger. The interpretation of the data collected also contributes to the strategy and decision-making by managers of similar entities, not only in the context of pandemics, but also in other unexpected events.
