Offenbacher Tafel needs donations

04.05.2022

If people in Germany cannot buy enough food, they can get it from certain places. These places are called "Tafel". There is also a food bank in Offenbach. Recently, more and more people need the help of the Tafel. Many refugees from Ukraine also go there. The Tafel needs donations so that it can continue to be there for all those seeking help.

The politicians in Offenbach say: "The work of the Tafel is very important, we need it. That is why the city has decided to provide financial support in this difficult situation. But all citizens can help with a donation.

The people who work at the Offenbacher Tafel say: "There are often fewer donations in the spring. That is also the case this year. Because of the current crises, many people are worried and less willing to donate. But the crises are also the reason why more people than usual need support, especially now.

One example of a donation is shopping vouchers. These vouchers can be bought in supermarkets. You can hand in the voucher directly at the Tafel. The Tafel is open at these times Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Neusalzerstraße 77, Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Krafftstraße 21. You can also make an appointment to hand in the voucher. This is the telephone number: 069-26 01 83 47.

Cash donations are also welcome. The Tafel account is: Tafel Offenbach e.V., IBAN DE 24 5019 0000 0006 4067 42, BIC FFVBDEFFXXX, Frankfurter Volksbank.
