Tables in need: New central warehouse should combat foods!

The boards in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are faced with a massive supply problem, since many supermarkets have significantly reduced their food donations. According to ndr.de , the plates in cities such as Demmin are less food than before, while the table in Neustrelitz even offers their offer by a third had to shorten. The background is the more efficient shopping policy of supermarkets that are less and less handed over. At the same time, the number of people who rely on the boards, especially among pensioners, has increased. In order to improve the situation, the umbrella organization of the tables in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania plans to build a new central warehouse in Schwerin.

improved logistics through new central warehouse

In a similar development, the community foundation for the Fürstenfeldbruck district opened a new central warehouse in Olching to optimize logistics for the many needy. As merkur.de , the establishment of the warehouse now enables larger amounts of food to store and to distribute. The warehouse is equipped with modern technologies that enable better tracking of the stocks. In addition, a 16 square meter cold room was set up to keep perishable goods such as milk and vegetables fresh.

These two initiatives are reactions to the challenges that have arisen from increasing demand and fewer food donations. The boards in both regions are aware that they need more support to provide the growing number of needy. Therefore, searches for additional staff are also sought in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, while the community foundation in Fürstenfeldbruck is expanding the cooperation with food rescuers to better use the food.
