We Ninjas all feel very blessed: with our clients and projects, with our families and friends, with our warm home and always full fridge.
But not everyone is doing so well. Every day in Austria, countless tons of perfectly good food ends up in the bin because it can no longer be sold.
Yet half a million people in our country do not have enough to eat.
That’s why we didn’t want to wait until Christmas this year, but wanted to provide support now.
Instead of sending Christmas cards to our customers – which will eventually end up in the bin – this year we have donated €5,000 to WIENER TAFEL.
WIENER TAFEL saves edible food and other everyday necessities from being thrown away and uses them to provide people living in poverty with food in social institutions.
Our donation will be used to maintain the transportation and storage logistics of the food, which will be urgently needed in the coming months due to the rising prices of electricity and petrol in particular.
"As Wiener Tafel, we are delighted to have the support of Growth Ninjas so that we can continue to rescue edible food in these challenging times and use it to feed over 20,000 people affected by poverty in around 100 social institutions such as mother and child homes, women's shelters and homeless shelters. The demand for food aid remains high at the moment, with over 500,000 people in Austria already affected by food insecurity."
