Our Minis make other children happy!

In this year’s ‘Weihnachten für Kinder der Münchner Tafel’ initiative a total of 305 parcels were collected, which the Tafel distributed the same day. Parents, children and staff at the seven Minihaus locations industriously collected and packed the gifts and decorated them for Christmas. Thanks to their commitment and their donations children in families who are less well off will find great presents under their Christmas tree, too.

This is already the fifth time Minihaus München has run its ‘Weihnachten für Kinder der Münchner Tafel’ initiative. With 305 parcels for Christmas we kept up with last year’s excellent result. This year spokesman Steffen Horak showed us round the site of the Münchner Tafel and the wholesale market and gave the children essential information on how the food and presents are handled and stored.

In Munich about 20 000 people in need depend on food distributed by the Münchner Tafel e.V. food bank. Those in need include several thousand children, who do not only lack food but many other things as well, such as school stationary, toys, books etc. Via 27 distribution centres all over Munich the Münchner Tafel ensures that families in need have enough to eat. Each week the 650 volunteers distribute an incredible 120 tonnes of food.
