With your help, we plan to build warehousing, offices and a canteen to ensure needy people receive one hot meal a day.

The soup kitchen supplies needy people with a hot meal as well as a care package to provide for the remaining two meals of the day. We aim to provide visitors with a healthy, balanced diet and toiletries. In addition to ensuring people are fed, we also encourage social interaction between visitors through group activities such as communal cooking, handicrafts and playing music.

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.
