Bicycle auction brings 705 euros for the Schwabacher Tafel

In Schwabach, a remarkable initiative was recently launched, which not only encourages citizens to participate, but also serves a good cause. As part of the “Schwabach Mobil” mobility show, a bicycle auction took place, which recently generated 705 euros in proceeds. This amount was presented Ursula Kaiser-Biburger, the chairman of the Family and Altenhilfe association and the sponsor of the Schwabacher Tafel. Mayor Peter Reiss was personally on site to hand over the check and emphasized the importance of the board for the city.

The proceeds of the auction flows into the purchase of a new laptop for the Schwabacher Tafel, which has been active since 1995 and is committed to socially disadvantaged citizens. The table specializes in the collection and distribution of quality -free foods that would otherwise end up in the trash. In order to keep the project going, the table is dependent on donations. Services also come from the city of Schwabach via the hospital foundation, which supports the organization in its important work.

a traditional event with increasing success

The auction of findings by the citizens' office in the town hall, which also acts as a find office, has developed into a popular tradition over the years. Find objects such as bicycles can be auctioned or sold after a retention period of six months. Saskia Smit and Tevik Haxha from the citizens' office reported that the first round of the auction was only slow. In the second round, however, momentum really got into the matter, which shows that there is great potential if you want to do something good.

So if you are looking for a bargain and at the same time want to help the community, you should not miss the next auction. Further information on lost items is available online at www.schwabach.de/fundsachen or can be requested by phone at 09122 860-0.
