Hurried move of the Salzgitter board: Where is the new home?

The Tafel Salzgitter supplies around 3,000 people with food every week, including numerous seniors and families in need. The association faces an urgent challenge because it has to move until November 30th. The owners of the current property at Söhlekamp 1 are planning their sale, which requires a new location.

For the new location, the table is looking for an area of ​​at least 700 square meters that can accommodate a large hall, car wash, washing machine, refrigerated rooms, a kitchen, output and registration areas and a lounge. The requirements for the infrastructure also include a good connection to public transport.

financial challenges and community support

The financing of the move is difficult because the real estate prices for the table are unrealistic. The association is mainly due to membership fees, donations and cost shares in customers. In addition, the board has been given a monthly grant from the city of Salzgitter for two years; However, the amount of this grant for the next two years is still unclear.

To advance to the search for a new property, the association is aimed at the community and asks for support. Susanne Röttger, an employee of the Tafel, expressed hope that it will soon find a suitable property in order to continue the valuable support for the needy. In addition to food supply, the Salzgitter-Tafel also urgently needs food donations such as milk, butter, eggs, rice, pasta and canned food. These can be submitted from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., as Salzgitter-tafel.de reported.

The Salzgitter-Tafel was founded in 2000 and is aimed at people in need in the city. In addition to the food edition, the association also operates a clothing store and organizes various events. The need of supported people is determined on the basis of the documents presented. It should be noted that the association does not receive government benefits and is therefore dependent on private donations and support.
