The Coesfelder Tafel e. V. has established itself as an important point of contact for people in need by saving and distributing priceless foods. According to wn.de , the table supplies about 1900 people with high-quality foods that can no longer be used in the regular economy.

The food is issued at several locations, including Nottuln, Havixbeck and Coesfeld. Heinz Öhmann, the chairman of the table, emphasizes the importance of support from donations and volunteers. These engagements are crucial to continue to help those who rely on food distribution.

voluntary work and values ​​

The Coesfeld Tafel works entirely on a voluntary basis, which makes it part of the greatest voluntary movement in Germany. According to Tafel.de , 94 percent of the 75,000 table helpers are involved without financial remuneration against poverty and food waste. Their tasks range from picking up donations to sorting to the distribution of food.

The members and helpers have to follow clear rules to ensure fairness. You work in independent teams under the supervision of a board. Great importance is placed on respect and courtesy in dealing with the customers, and it is prohibited to use goods for private purposes. These guidelines contribute to the fact that nobody is preferred or disadvantaged.

variety of commitment options

Volunteers can get involved in various areas, including fundraising, project organization and coordination of helpers. The table also offers further training opportunities through the Tafel Academy. Security measures in the areas of occupational safety and hygiene are guaranteed and the volunteers are insured across the board.

The commitment in the table is not just a way to save food and support people. It also promotes personal development and social participation. Volunteers can develop their strengths and talents and actively contribute to their community.

The Coesfeld Tafel remains dependent on donations to perform their important tasks. Interested parties who want to participate can contact the board near their nearby to get contact information. The support of the citizens is crucial to cope with the growing challenges in the current social landscape.
