Yesterday's bread, yoghurt that will expire in a few days, fruit and vegetables that have not been sold... these are all foods that would end up in our rubbish. On the other hand, there are about 66,000 people in Stuttgart and the surrounding area who live on the edge of the subsistence level. The Schwäbische Tafel Stuttgart e.V. has made it its business to collect this food and to pass it on to needy people in its own food shops for a small contribution towards costs.
