On November 19, 2025, Princess Marie of Denmark visited Forenede MadBanker and MadBanken Ballerup. Princess Marie is patron of the association Stop Spild Af Mad (Stop Wasting Food). The Princess was welcomed by, among others, the Chair of Stop Spild Af Mad, Selina Juul, and the Chair of Forenede MadBanker and Madbanken Odsherred, Joan Ulvedal.
MadBanken Ballerup is one of more than 20 independent food banks that together form the nationwide network Forenede MadBanker. Forenede MadBanker was founded on 15 December 2024 and has since saved more than 2,000 tons of food from going to waste—food that has instead been distributed free of charge to families and individuals in vulnerable situations.
In her capacity as patron, Princess Marie also visited DanChurchAid (Folkekirkens Nødhjælp) in Copenhagen. The visit included a working meeting where the Princess was briefed on the organisation’s humanitarian work. Here, the Princess learned about DanChurchAid's efforts in areas such as mine clearance in Gaza and Ukraine. Princess Marie has been patron of DanChurchAid since 2011.
