The parish of Isling supports Tafel Lichtenfels with a donation of 450 euros!

In Isling, people look back proudly on the recent support for the Lichtenfelser Tafel. The parish council and the church administration presented a donation of 450 euros, which plays an important role in the valuable work of the table. The donation is intended to help the helpers, especially in times of rising costs for fuel, insurance and administrative expenses. That's what she reports Main post.

Where does this amount come from? The parish of Isling put it together from the proceeds of a church café that took place on the 1st Sunday of Advent and from a mulled wine sale after the service on the 4th Advent. The parish's star singers also generously participated by donating some of their sweets. These actions show the great commitment of the community, which expresses its appreciation for the work of the Tafel.

Together against poverty and food waste

Tafel Lichtenfels is part of a larger network that links poverty and food waste. The aim is to save edible food that would otherwise end up in the trash. These are provided to people affected by poverty who often have difficulty eating a balanced diet. Loud Caritas Lichtenfels Food is distributed as part of the “Tafel Plus” project, an ecumenical project run by the Caritas Association and the Diakonisches Werk.

Food distributions take place every Wednesday from 12:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. During this time, employees of the General Social Counseling Centers are available to support customers in other areas of life. Anyone who would like to use the Tafel's help needs, for example, an application for ALG II or social assistance or a recommendation from a parish office in order to receive authorization.

The local approach

However, the Tafel's commitment goes beyond simply distributing food. Support is also offered through various projects that serve as meeting places. Here, the Tafel activists and guests deal with topics such as nutrition, digitalization and culture. “A good mix,” can be found at Blackboard Germany, which emphasizes the importance of taking customers' realities into account and developing new programs.

Although the donation from the Isling parish is a small but important part of the support, it impressively shows how important solidarity in the community is. The Tafel's employees, including Daniela Fehn and Brigitte and Karl-Heinz Körner, work together with volunteers such as Annette Schütz and Uwe Pliefk for a better future. It's a good example of how we can stand together as a community and make a positive difference.
