Tafel Deutschland orchestrates a network of over 975 Tafel locations, supporting 1.6 to 2 million individuals across Germany with food assistance annually. As one of the largest volunteer-driven organizations in the country, Tafel relies almost exclusively on private donations to manage its operations. 100% of the food distributed is donated.
n Germany, vast amounts of perfectly edible food are wasted daily, while simultaneously, millions face food insecurity. This disconnect not only impacts the well-being of countless individuals but also contributes to broader environmental issues. Tafel Deutschland tackles this challenge head-on by preventing food waste and addressing hunger among vulnerable populations, including a significant number of children and youth.
Tafel Deutschland bridges the gap between surplus and scarcity by rescuing quality food otherwise destined for disposal. Through a robust network of over 975 nonprofit Tafel branches, we distribute this food for free or at a symbolic cost to those facing social and economic hardships. This initiative not only feeds those in need but also promotes sustainability by reducing food waste significantly.
By aiming to raise $1,000,000, Tafel Deutschland seeks to enhance our national infrastructure to better serve our expansive network. While the average of less than 1,000 euros per Tafel may seem modest, these funds are pivotal in strengthening volunteer recruitment, optimizing operations, and expanding food sourcing and logistics capabilities. Each donation plays a crucial role in scaling our impact, allowing us to reach more people and create lasting improvements in community food security.
