Food donations to Hamburg food banks decline significantly
In Hamburg, food banks are experiencing a noticeable decrease in food donations from supermarkets. The charitable organisation Hamburger Tafel, which supports people with limited financial means, reports a clear reduction in the amount of donated goods.
Improved retail efficiency reduces surplus
The main reason for this development lies in changes within the retail sector. Modern digital inventory management systems enable supermarkets to plan more precisely, resulting in fewer surplus products available for donation.
Growing demand meets shrinking resources
At the same time, the number of people in need of assistance remains high. Rising living costs and economic pressures are driving more residents to seek help from food banks, increasing the strain on existing resources.
Call for broader support
In response, Hamburger Tafel is strengthening cooperation with producers, logistics companies and private donors. The organisation is also encouraging residents to contribute through donations or volunteer work to help maintain food support services in the city.
