Siegwerk Büdingen supports the local food bank for Christmas

TAFEL Deutschland is a charitable organization that collects food from retailers and manufacturers and distributes it to people in need in the area around Siegwerk’s Büdingen site. Shortly before Christmas last year, Siegwerkers from Büdingen helped package food for the less fortunate.

Many food banks offer additional services alongside the food distribution – such as a hot lunches, tutoring or childcare. The Büdingen food bank currently provides for 1,000 people, a third of whom are children and youngsters.

As part of this social campaign many employees in Büdingen donated non-perishable food and hygiene products. In addition to the donations, the Siegwerk site bought products such as flour, tea, chocolate, pasta and hygiene products from a local supermarket and employees picked them up. A total of 220 packages were packed by volunteer employees in a period of two hours and handed over to TAFEL. The packages will be distributed to people in need in Büdingen in January as a New Year's greeting.
