Food Banks & Pantries: Crisis Response in Germany

Dear donors,

The food banks in Germany are under enormous pressure: Many people turn to one of the more than 960 food banks for the first time and ask for help because their money is no longer enough to live on. Since the beginning of the price increases and the war in Ukraine, more and more people have found themselves in need: two million people now come to the food banks, more than ever before.

But the food banks themselves and the people who work for them have faced and continue to face major challenges and need a great deal of support, because rising energy prices are also putting a strain on the work of the food banks.

With your support through GlobalGiving, you have helped the food banks save food and help people affected by poverty. With your donations we can, among other things

• Put the food bank work on a sustainable footing

• Support the food banks in the energy crisis

• Expand logistics and implement digitalization projects, allowing more food to be saved

• Implement participation projects for children and senior citizens

Thank you!
