If you are in Austria, you can find out here how your purchase makes a meal possible.

Thanks to your purchase and the help of Berliner Tafel (food banks), we distribute food to people living in poverty.

Did you know that each of our products always contains a social donation? We often don't have to look far to help, social inequalities are growing in this country too. Many people suffer from hidden poverty. A situation that is being exacerbated by the effects of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. With your snack, you are donating a portion of food to disadvantaged people in Germany.

But what is actually behind a portion of food?

You probably already know how the Tafel works: Food that is actually still good but is no longer suitable for sale is distributed to people living in poverty by local distribution points. With our donation, they receive a package containing at least 500 g of food, which helps to support people and their families. In this way, we can make a tangible contribution to combating food poverty and at the same time save food from going to waste.

This help is particularly important today, as the number of Tafel customers has increased by 50% since spring 2022. The consequences of the war in Ukraine and inflation have had a significant impact on people affected by poverty in particular, meaning that more people are dependent on support. By handing out fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables, we can work with the food banks to contribute to a more balanced diet.

How exactly is a portion of food financed?

Now back to the donation. How is this transformed into social assistance? Together with our partner, Tafel Deutschland, we want to give people affected by poverty access to nutritious meals. However, as an independent aid organization, Tafel Deutschland does not support any products or services. That's why share gives 6 cents of every snack sold to Tafel Deutschland to help save food. We do this by supporting the logistics work that Tafel Deutschland is responsible for, among other things. This helps food banks in structurally weak regions, for example, to store and transport very large quantities of food.

Project active since February 2019
