Food in stomachs, not in the trash. Stop waste. We campaign to prevent food waste, instead distributing surplus items to needy people with the help of our army of volunteers.
Nürnberger Tafel contributes to these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are international goals of the United Nations for a better and more sustainable future.
Our work focuses on collecting surplus food that is still safe for human consumption under German law, together with other everyday items, and making these available to those in need. No food is purchased and it is either supplied free of charge or for a token fee. Despite their different ideological, religious, professional or personal motives, our volunteers are committed to serving a humanitarian cause and strive to improve the quality of life of socially and economically disadvantaged people. In this way, we ensure those on the margins of society are seen and heard. As many as 200 volunteers give of their time to the Nürnberger Tafel, collecting some 3.5 tons of food each day and distributing it to more than 6,000 needy people. Nürnberger Tafel is a nonpartisan and non-denominational organization.
