Dear donors,
The food banks in Germany continue to face major challenges.
As an umbrella organization, we provide targeted support for our network of food banks and community food pantries throughout the country. This is why we have expanded our funding program. Here is some news from the field:
1. New support program for delivery and transport costs:
Tafel Deutschland has relaunched its support program for delivery and transport costs. All member food banks can receive a flat-rate subsidy for their ongoing fuel costs. This payment is intended to ease the financial burden on food banks in connection with food distribution.
2. Digitization strategy and IT equipment:
Equipping local food banks with hardware such as laptops, tablets or smartphones is a central goal of the digitalization strategy of Tafel Deutschland. This measure aims to digitalize customer management and logistics processes and promote existing software solutions such as our “eco-Plattform”. The aim is to relieve the burden on food bank volunteers in their operational work and increase efficiency.
Tafel Deutschland is the service association and advocate for over 970 food banks. The umbrella organization has been supporting the food banks since 1995.
We are very grateful for the ongoing support through GlobalGiving, which enables us to implement these important programs, among other things. Your donations help to support the Tafel's work in Germany and provide access to food and social participation for people living in poverty.
Thanky you!
