Funds in General

Ehrenamtlich, unabhängig, solidarisch: So engagieren sich die über 970 Tafeln in Deutschland gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung und Armut. Sie unterstützen etwa zwei Millionen Menschen mit geretteten Lebensmitteln. Tafeln unterscheiden sich teils stark in ihrem Angebot: Einige öffnen ihren Tafel-Laden alle zwei Wochen, andere unterstützen mit ihren zahlreichen Ausgabestellen täglich hunderte armutsbetroffene Menschen. Manche konzentrieren sich auf die Lebensmittelausgabe, andere bieten zusätzlich Projekte, Treffpunkte, Möbelbörsen und vieles mehr an. Alle Tafeln eint jedoch ihre Mission: Lebensmittel retten, Menschen helfen. Die Tafeln sammeln überschüssige Lebensmittel ein, die für den Müll bestimmt waren, aber noch gut und genießbar sind. Sie geben diese kostenlos oder gegen einen geringen Betrag an Menschen mit wenig Geld weiter. Damit engagieren sie sich unabhängig von politischen Parteien und Konfessionen gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung und lindern Armut. Die Arbeit der Tafeln basiert zum Großteil auf Spenden: Wir freuen uns über Sach-, Geld- und Zeitspenden. Erst durch diese Unterstützung sowie den Einsatz der 60.000 Tafel-Aktiven wird die Tafel-Arbeit möglich. 95 Prozent der Helferinnen und Helfer engagieren sich ehrenamtlich für die 1,6 bis 2 Millionen Kundinnen und Kunden der Tafeln. Von Kindern und Jugendlichen über Erwachsene im erwerbsfähigen Alter bis hin zu Seniorinnen und Senioren: Die Tafel-Kundinnen und -Kunden kommen aus allen Altersgruppen und haben die unterschiedlichsten Lebensgeschichten. Tafeln sind solidarisch mit ihnen allen: Sie helfen denen, die ihre Hilfe benötigen. Nachhaltigkeit: Lebensmittel werden unter großem Aufwand produziert und sind wertvoll. Wir treten dafür ein, dass sie nicht vernichtet, sondern verzehrt werden. Humanität: Jedem Tafel-Kunden und jeder Tafel-Kundin begegnen wir unabhängig von Herkunft, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen mit Respekt und achten ihre Würde. Gerechtigkeit und Teilhabe: Jeder Mensch soll Chancen zur persönlichen, kulturellen, sozialen, schulischen und beruflichen Entfaltung erhalten. Soziale Verantwortung: Tafeln übernehmen durch ihr Handeln soziale Verantwortung und erinnern die Gesellschaft an ihre Verpflichtung gegenüber armen und ausgegrenzten Menschen.

Currently, very few LGBTQ social services or advocacy networks exist on the South and West Sides of Chicago. Furthermore, the few trans-specific resources in the city are located in majority-white neighborhoods on the North Side, which are inaccessible geographically, and also regularly result in the hyper-policing of trans people of color who attempt to access them.
