Helping at the Münchner Tafel
The Münchener Tafel provides food from donations to needy people; they always need help from volunteers. There are many locations in Munich. You can help once a week from 11am to 5pm. Due to the current situation, the Tafel also offers help to people from Ukraine, increasing their demand for volunteers to staff the Tafel. Register here.
