Support us as a cargo bike rider

The  drivers and passengers of our electric cargo bike TAFELino meet on Tuesdays and Fridays around 8:30 am at our location in the industrial park Rodenkirchen. The bicycle is loaded with boxes and food from the warehouse and is then taken on fixed routes to the handicapped people.

For this we are looking for sporty/fit riders/bikers. These tours are currently carried out twice a week; length between 25 and 35 kilometers.

Further details about voluntary work at the Tafel Köln e.V. can be found in an information talk for interested parties, which is offered regularly at our location in Kirschbaumweg. It lasts about 20 minutes.

Your Tasks

Tasks include more or less the following:

• Load the cargo bike with food
• drive to the distribution points
• Cleaning up leftover food
• Cleaning the vehicle

Important notice

The Tafel in Cologne is an indispensable social institution in the Cologne help system, which has made it its mission to help people in need with the most natural: with food, attention and solidarity. Although there are many people in Cologne who are concerned about their daily nutrition, huge amounts of food are thrown away every day. This is exactly where our volunteers help. They collect tons of donated food from supermarkets, bakeries and manufacturers and distribute it to needy people.
