Traveling by train and helping people? Smart move.

Every favorite guest of Deutsche Bahn & share donates food to the German Food Bank.

Snack on chocolate – donate a meal

Every Lieblingsgast chocolate from the cooperation between Deutsche Bahn and share donates a meal for a disadvantaged person. While you get from A to B in a relaxed manner, this chocolate supports the important work of Tafel Deutschland eV - good feeling, right?

Here's how it works:

The social roadmap

  • You secure a quiet seat in first class and receive a surprise cookie with social impact from share.
  • Each gift includes a donation to Tafel Deutschland (a German food bank).
  • Together we support people in need and reduce food waste.

Snacking & Sharing

Small snack – big impact

To help, we often don't have to look far, because social inequality is growing in Germany too – many people are affected by poverty, often invisibly. The consequences of the pandemic, conflicts, and inflation hit them particularly hard. By sharing snacks with your favorite guest, you automatically help to close the food gap.

For an even better feeling: The small lemon-flavored butter biscuit is made with high-quality ingredients from Europe, produced in Germany, and contains no palm oil. The chocolate version of the Lieblingsgast biscuit uses only fair-trade cocoa and is produced in Belgium. The packaging is also recyclable.

Enjoy your meal!

Effective Partnership

Our water has been available in recyclable bottles in Deutsche Bahn's onboard restaurants and bistros since 2020. Together with DB, we've provided 11.2 million days of drinking water and provided 52 fountains. We believe there's still more to come. We're making the next move with our favorite guest.

What is actually behind the donation principle?

You're probably familiar with the principle of food banks: perfectly edible food that can no longer be sold doesn't end up in the trash, but with people who desperately need it. With every favorite guest, you donate food to people affected by poverty – this relieves the burden on families, saves food from being thrown away, and helps combat food insecurity.

How exactly does your snack help? Every cookie sold donates 1.8 cents and every chocolate bar 5 cents to Tafel Deutschland (the German food bank network). This supports their vital logistical work – for example, transporting large quantities of food to food banks in economically disadvantaged regions. So your snack becomes real help.

Tafel Germany

Tafel Deutschland is the umbrella organization of over 970 food banks throughout Germany. Its responsibilities include coordinating, supporting, and advising regional and local food bank operations. It acts as a spokesperson for donors, politicians, associations, and the public, and organizes the forwarding of monetary and in-kind donations.
