Already knew?

Around 11 million tons of food are thrown away in Germany every year. Each consumer ends up throwing around 78 kg of food in the bin - half of which could still be recycled (BMEL, 2022).

Where we help

Why Germany

Approximately 14.2 million people (source: Poverty Report 2024, Paritätischer Gesamtverband) are currently affected by poverty in Germany. Even though Germany is one of the richest countries in the world, there are many people who have little money left for food. Current developments and rising food prices are exacerbating this situation, so that around two million people are regularly dependent on the help of food banks.

Food rescue

Together with Tafel Deutschland, the umbrella organization of food banks, and the Berliner Tafel, we are fighting against this waste of important resources and saving food to support people affected by poverty.
