New Malteser cookbook: Tasty recipes for those in need!
There is reason to be happy in Cham: The Maltese have published a new cookbook that not only promises delicious recipes, but also supports those in need. Entitled “Recipe Ideas for Donated Food from Maltese Facilities, Yesterday’s Bread and More,” the collection features simple and quick dishes made with food sourced from Maltese Food Banks. The idea for this project came from Martina Vogl, the managing director of the Malteser in Cham, who wanted to make a valuable contribution to help in the region. Mittelbayerische reports that the recipes were collected by volunteers in Waldmünchen, Cham and Furth im Wald.
The cookbook is not only a helpful collection of recipes, but also an expression of thanks to the donors to the Maltese food facilities. With the retail price of 10 euros, the proceeds go directly to the social services of the Maltese, especially to support food expenses. There are already reports of a large influx: 80-90 families come to Furth im Wald and 60-65 families to Waldmünchen every week. Every month, 5-10 new families are found who are dependent on this support.
Looking for committed volunteers
Another important aspect is the volunteers who not only help distribute food, but are also active in helping refugees. The Maltese are therefore continually looking for volunteers who would like to get involved in Cham, Furth im Wald and Waldmünchen. Volunteering in refugee aid is diverse and plays a central role in integration. Malteser explains that the support of volunteers is crucial for refugees, especially in the first few weeks. The core tasks here include registrations, collecting appointments with schools, doctors and similar institutions, as well as everyday tasks such as furnishing the apartment.
Through regular support, refugees can become safer in their new environment. Not only Maltese people support this, but also numerous organizations that rely on voluntary help. Vereine.de shows how volunteers can offer language courses, help with dealings with authorities and be available as contact persons. These activities are not only valuable for the refugees, but also enable the helpers to gain valuable experience and make new contacts.
In summary, the Malteser's new cookbook is an excellent example of creative commitment in the region. It combines practical recipe ideas with a social purpose, where every purchase can directly do good. So if you are looking for simple and tasty recipes or just want to support the Malteser, you shouldn't miss the opportunity and stop by the Malteser district office in Cham.
