Münchberger Tisch: alleviating hardship through food donations

In many parts of society, there are people who barely have enough to live on. Especially in difficult times like these, it is often the poorest who are dependent on support to make ends meet. This is precisely where the Münchberg table to. It helps local people by distributing food to the needy and refugees, thus alleviating the most urgent need. With its work, the Münchberger Tisch ensures that no one has to go hungry - regardless of their origin or living situation.

The important work of the Münchberg table

The Münchberg Table is an offer from the Diaconia Münchberg and is committed to helping people who are unable to meet their daily food needs. In the Münchberg region, the table is a central point of contact for people in need, who are regularly supplied with food here.

The target group is primarily people who are in a precarious financial situation - including single parents, pensioners, the unemployed and refugees. For them, the support provided by the Münchberger Tisch is often an important lifeline in everyday life.

Support for refugees

In recent years, the number of refugees coming to Germany has risen sharply. Many of them arrive without any belongings and are left with nothing. The Münchberger Tisch provides valuable support here by regularly sending food to refugees. This ensures that this particularly vulnerable group also receives the help they urgently need to at least get by on a daily basis.

How does the Münchberg table work?

The Münchberger Tisch is based on a simple but very effective principle: food donated by supermarkets, bakeries and other stores is collected, sorted and then distributed to people in need. This often involves products that are close to their best-before date but are still perfectly edible.

Through cooperation with various companies and private donors

the Münchberger Tisch is able to provide a wide selection of food. These range from fresh baked goods, fruit and vegetables to canned goods and dairy products. The distribution takes place regularly and is organized by volunteers.

You too can get involved with the Münchberger Tisch! Every helping hand is welcome, and there are many ways to get actively involved - be it by helping with the distribution, with the organization or by donating your own food.

Why the Münchberg table is so important

Poverty in Germany is often invisible. Many people are ashamed to ask for help, even though they urgently need support. The Münchberger Tisch offers these people not only the food they need, but also a place where they are not left alone with their worries and needs. This help is invaluable, especially for refugees, who often do not have the social safety net to support others in times of crisis.
