Share leftover food at the church Fairteiler in Mainz

Share leftover food at the church Fairteiler in Mainz Since 2023 the Ev. Auferstehungsgemeinde Mainz keeps a Fairteiler cupboard by the side entrance of the church (the Kita door). Anyone may leave or take food. The parish runs it independently of foodsharing, and still welcomes Foodsavers who use it. What you can do in Mainz - Read the Fairteiler page for what may go in the cupboard - Fill or empty the cupboard during the day. It is cleaned around 17:00 so nothing stays overnight - Ask at the parish office if you want to help with cleaning shifts How to join Fruit, veg, bread, and tins are welcome. No chilled goods. Everyone may take food, whatever their income. Kita and parish volunteers rotate the cleaning. Why it matters in Mainz A Mainz church door becomes a daily plate instead of a bin. Good to know - What may go in the cupboard? Fruit, veg, bread, and tins are welcome. No chilled goods. - When is it cleaned? Around 17:00 so nothing stays overnight. Fill only during the day.

#RespektTaube

Siehst Du mich? Dein Blick verändert ihr Leben. Tauben sind sehr standort gebunden. Sie kehren immer wieder an ihren Wohnort zurück. Was ist die Lösung? Tauben brauchen ein zu Hause! Und die einzig effektive Möglichkeit die Tauben Population zu regulieren, ist der Eiertausch! Das gelingt nur, mit festen, überwachten Brutplätzen. Daher brauchen wir dringen Taubenhäuser in Frankfurt. Denn nur so kriegen wir es hin das Menschen und Tiere gut miteinander leben können.

CleanUp-Spaziergang am Fluss

Ufer Cleanup Gemeinsam am Flussufer entlanglaufen, Müll aufsammeln und Zeit mit Menschen verbringen, die einem wichtig sind. Inspiriert von Aktionen wie dem Frankfurt Cleanup und dem RhineCleanUp, wollen wir dasselbe Prinzip kleiner und persönlicher machen. Kein großes Event, keine Logistik, nur ein paar Freunde, Handschuhe, Müllsäcke und danach vielleicht ein Kaffee. Manchmal reicht es, einfach anzufangen. --- Riverside cleanup stroll Walk along the riverbank together, pick up litter, and spend time with people you care about. Inspired by initiatives like the Frankfurt Cleanup and the RhineCleanUp, we want to bring the same spirit down to something smaller and more personal. No big event, no logistics, just a few friends, gloves, bin bags, and maybe a coffee after. Sometimes it's enough to simply start.
