Every year, the Garden Friends of Spaichingen donate the proceeds from the plant fair, which always takes place in May on the Spaichingen market square, to a charitable cause. This also raises the question for those responsible for the association as to who should be supported with a donation. The answer to this is becoming increasingly difficult, because more and more institutions that strive for the well-being of others can use help and support. Once again the decision to donate fell on the Tafelladen in Trossingen. Food banks are needed more than ever, because with the increasing and ongoing crises, the number of people who need support is increasing. These are not just refugees, but also low-income workers and pensioners. These are mostly people who were previously barely making ends meet and can no longer afford the high prices for food, fuel and energy. The increased costs are particularly hard on people with little money.
The Trossinger Tafelladen is also confronted with more customers, fewer donations and higher operating costs. So the donation check from Garden Friends Spaichingen for 400 euros comes in handy. Melitta Jeckel, deputy manager of the Tafelladen, received it with joy and thanked the garden friends warmly. In the conversation, she talked about the ongoing difficulties and the seemingly insurmountable demand to do the best to support people in need quickly and easily with food.
And that is also the key word: “food”. We gardeners and all other garden owners who grow fruit and vegetables often don’t know what to do with their abundant harvest. Table shops are grateful buyers of these garden treasures. Whether apples, plums, quinces, pears, walnuts, etc. and no matter in the quantities, everything is gladly taken. But actually, Tafelshops are constantly dependent on food donations. Due to declining donations from retailers, food bank shops are more dependent than ever on private individuals, clubs, community groups, groups of friends or sponsors who are willing to donate. There is always a need, especially for long-lasting goods such as long-life milk, lentils, semolina, rice, pasta, sugar, flour, coffee, tea, etc. or hygiene products.
