Berliner Tafel - Goal 2

Last week we visited the head quarters and warehouse of „Berliner Tafel“, the organization we presented on the mobility in Italy. It was really interesting to see how the food bank works. At first, we watched a video about the foundation of Berliner Tafel and then they explained us, why the food bank is so important in Berlin. Everybody in Berlin, who doesn’t have enough money to buy food, for example students, homeless people or single parents, can go there and get fresh food for just 1-2€. Mostly, they „sell“ vegetables, fruits and bread. They get the food from supermarkets, which would normally throw it away. The Berliner Tafel saves the food, brings it to the warehouse and checks if it’s still eatable. Then they distribute it to all the 45 stores in the city. In that way they work very sustainable, since they produce less rubbish (SDG 12) and fight against hunger (SDG 2). We thinks it’s great, that most people at Berliner Tafel work voluntarily. Probably some of us also want to help there one day.
