Rotary Club Duisburg: Handing over stainless steel tables for the table!

An important handover took place in the heart of Duisburg on June 17, 2025: The Rotary Club of Duisburg provided Tafel Duisburg with new stainless steel tables. These tables are not only a donation of materials, but also a step towards better hygiene regulations in food processing. This enabled the Tafel's volunteers to work under a safe standard, which is of enormous importance for the countless needy people who rely on their help.

Rotary President Prof. Dr. Alfred Wendel was personally present at the handover. He was supported by the future president Dieter Steffen and community service representative Wolfgang Krause. Together they handed over the tables to Günter Spikofski, the managing director of Tafel Duisburg. The Rotary Club's involvement in this project reflects the years of support the Club has been able to provide to the food bank. The primary goal of this support? To help the city's needy citizens wherever it is needed. As the Rotary Club of Duisburg explains on its website, commitment to social projects is an integral part of their philosophy. duisburg.rotary.de offers comprehensive information and contact options for anyone who would also like to get involved.

Background and commitment

The Rotary Club of Duisburg is part of a global network of Rotary clubs that are committed to social projects and improving the living conditions of disadvantaged people. The Rotary Club Foundation in Berlin also shows how important integration and social projects are today. Among other things, it supports the “People in Need” initiative with 500,000 euros and promotes projects that help refugees integrate into society. Projects like “Senior Partner in School” bring locals and refugees together and promote understanding and social bonds.

In a similar way, the Rotary Club of Duisburg is committed to addressing important social challenges in its own city. The support of Tafel Duisburg is an excellent example of how commitment and solidarity can be lived in the community. For many families in Duisburg, the food they receive from the food bank is often the only way to make ends meet. It is therefore even more important that the board is well equipped.

By handing over the tables, the Rotary Club of Duisburg is ensuring that the table can continue to fulfill its important task in the future. This is an exemplary example of how local institutions stand up for each other and work together to improve people's lives.
