We celebrate two years of support for the Tafel Leipzig

Recently, we celebrated another milestone: our partnership with Tafel Leipzig turned two years old! Since March 2021, CG Elementum AG has been providing monthly support of 2,000 euros to Tafel Leipzig, ensuring the salaries and continuous operations of the association.

Founded in 1996, originally known as Leipziger Tafel e. V., the organisation collects donated food and distributes it to those in need, social organisations, institutions, and charitable associations. In 2020, they joined the national organisation DEUTSCHE TAFEL e. V. and was renamed TAFEL Leipzig e. V. In addition to eight distribution points, TAFEL Leipzig operates a Children’s Tafel and, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a delivery service.

As early as 2020, the Tafel requested financial assistance as the pandemic posed significant existential challenges to many nonprofit organisations due to reduced donations. After Christoph Gröner personally covered the salaries of Tafel Leipzig employees for two months, a diverse partnership also formed with the subsidiary CG Elementum AG. Apart from the monthly commitment, other initiatives of the association, such as Christmas Wish Tree campaigns or school supplies for the so-called “Tafel children,” are also supported. Additionally, we are providing a ninth distribution point on Risaerstraße, aiming to assist even more people in the near future.

We are incredibly proud of this partnership and wish to express our gratitude to Tafel Leipzig for their crucial work. We also extend our thanks to our employees of the Leipzig branch for their ongoing support of these initiatives. Here’s to many more years!
