Germany’s over 900 food banks, overseen by charitable organization Tafel e.V., support anyone who can prove they’re facing financial hardship. But fewer and fewer companies are donating to these food banks, although demand is growing amid high inflation and the influx of Ukrainian refugees. That’s why food banks are now calling on the German state for help.

    Yes, lets import more cheap labor! Yay, let’s cut wage costs! Who cares about overwhelmed infrastructure? I can save a couple bucks!

    Are German food banks mostly funded by companies? In the US as far as I can tell they’re funded with almost all individual contributions.

      Yes, but also large financial donations, private grants and government grants.
