Solidarity that gets through
REWE and nahkauf's "Gemeinsam Teller füllen" (Filling plates together) campaign shows how much can be achieved when many people get involved: As part of the two-week "Gemeinsam Teller füllen" campaign, around 330,000 bags of non-perishable food were donated and handed over to local food banks. REWE topped up the customers' donations with an additional 200,000 euros worth of food.
Nationwide fundraising campaign by REWE and nahkauf
More and more people in Germany don't know how to pay for their next purchase. The food banks have become the last hope for many - but even there things are getting tight. REWE and nahkauf are therefore once again launching the nationwide campaign "Gemeinsam Teller füllen" (Filling plates together). The aim is to collect as many food donations as possible. From 8 to 20 September, customers can buy bags of long-life food in over 4,200 stores or via the REWE online shop. These will benefit the more than 970 food banks in Germany.
Charity campaign by REWE and nahkauf
REWE and nahkauf conclude the traditional "Filling plates together" campaign with an increased donation result of 1,162 tonnes of food compared to the previous year. For a fortnight, the stores had called on customers throughout Germany to donate six selected items to the food bank in their local community. REWE itself donated 200,000 euros worth of food.
Table bag campaign
The campaign has a long tradition, meets with a lively response every year and has already raised over 28 million euros worth of food since its launch in 2011: Since 7 October, customers in over 4,200 REWE and Nahkauf stores have once again been able to buy either paper bags with donated items or donation cards for people affected by poverty.
REWE and food bank
Over 4,000 REWE and nahkauf stores launched a nationwide food bank bag campaign on 9 October. The aim: to work with customers to generate food donations worth three million euros, which will benefit the more than 960 food banks in Germany.
