Overview
- The Berliner Tafel received 22 tonnes for distribution to 48 outlets and more than 400 social institutions across the city, a process expected to take up to three weeks.
- Private groups and institutions in Berlin volunteered as pickup points with minimum one‑tonne drops, and several sites reported supplies gone within hours.
- Sachsens Tafel secured roughly 12 tonnes for regional use after moving quickly, though limited storage and handling capacity prevented it from taking a larger 40‑tonne offer.
- Osterland Agrar donated the potatoes, Ecosia arranged transport into the capital, and Berliner Morgenpost coordinated citywide drop‑offs and sign‑ups.
- Shipments left Saxony overnight and were unloaded at Berlin’s wholesale market for safety checks before dispatch to charities and neighborhood distribution points.
