NFL stars support Tafel Gelnhausen: $10,000 for those in need
In a heartwarming event, former NFL stars from the New York Giants visited tranquil Gelnhausen. The delegation, led by Giants vice president Allison Stangeby, brought a check for $10,000 to the local food bank. The donation is of great importance for this important institution, which supplies around 1,500 people every month in the old Gelnhausen district. This social mission was initiated at the suggestion of Rick Holland, the well-known coach of the Hanau Hornets, who was able to inspire the NFL stars to visit. gnz.de reports that among the stars in attendance were Amani Toomer and Brandon London, both with impressive career achievements.
In addition to being a household name, Amani Toomer is the Giants' all-time leader in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns. Brandon London, who also won a Super Bowl, is now a sportscaster. They visited the Gelnhausen Tafel together and were able to see for themselves the valuable work of the volunteers.
The meaning of the Gelnhausen plaque
The Gelnhausen Tafel has made it its mission to collect surplus food and pass it on to people in need. Allison Stangeby explained that the team aims to distribute remaining food to local soup kitchens to minimize food waste. Despite the challenges brought about by the current shutdown in Germany, the Tafel can currently count on solid support from volunteers.
The institution needs around 250,000 euros annually to maintain its missionary activity. However, due to increasing demand, Tafel Gelnhausen is struggling with a waiting list. Nevertheless, those responsible have clear guidelines for aid to ensure that no one in need is overlooked.
