Hunger aid in Straubing: onions for 500 needy on Thursday!

Johannes-Kepler-Straße, 94315 Straubing, Deutschland - A dramatic stop at the Straubinger Tafel! On Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. there was a lot going on in the small hall of the Maltese relief service on Johannes-Kepler-Straße. A farmer brought a trunk full of fresh onions that were eagerly packed in small bags by the staff of the table. This food donation will be provided for the needy on Thursday, and it is expected that about 250 people are waiting for their portion in front of the gray entrance door - like every week!

The situation is heading to

The Straubinger Tafel has now imposed an admission stop! This is done to cope with the growing number of needy. Another group of around 500 customers is served every two weeks, but demand exceeds the capacities. The board faces the challenge of procuring enough food and at the same time to meet the needs of people in need. The situation is tense and the employees work tirelessly to ensure care.

The decision to stop it is not easy, but the board is forced to take this measure in order to maintain the quality of the help. The coming days will be decisive to see how the situation develops and whether the table will be able to accept new customers again. However, the need to help the needy remains undisputed and is the focus of the efforts of the Straubinger Tafel.
