Funding
Our organization is completely self-financed - partly even through private loans from committed customers. In addition, a growing community supports us through a solidarity membership model, which enables us to operate on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, the tax office has rejected an application for non-profit status.
Objectives
Our aim is to establish a fair, ecological and solidarity-based supply system in the food retail sector - beyond the logic of profit and packaging waste. We promote regional value creation, strengthen social participation and make sustainable consumption accessible to everyone. Through educational offers and participatory formats, we activate our neighborhood and create spaces for community learning, engagement and empowerment.
Your support helps
