Celebration in the Waiblingen lunch table: 20 years for community and enjoyment!

Waiblingen, Deutschland - On June 7, 2025, an important anniversary will be celebrated in Waiblingen: The “Lunch table for everyone” of the Evangelical Methodist Church (EMK) looks back on 20 successful years. In the Christ Church, a warm lunch is offered weekly at a low price that not only breastfeeds hunger, but also pursues the goal of bringing people together and promoting community. The initiative was launched in 2005 after the parish thought about how it can actively influence the social structure of its city.

The lunch table is particularly popular and is part of a long -term cooperation with the Erlacher Höhe, a facility that is committed to social aid. This cooperation has contributed to continuously developing the project and covering the need for social offers in Waiblingen. It is remarkable how such a commitment has existed over two decades and makes a valuable contribution to improving the quality of life of many people.

transparent help in the social area

The importance of initiatives such as lunch is undisputed, especially against the background of the social challenges with which many citizens are confronted. According to the Johanniter-unfall-Hilfe , transparency and control are of central importance. The organization uses donations efficiently where they are most urgently needed, which also applies to local aid format such as the lunch table.

By regular tests from independent bodies, such as the German Central Institute for Social Questions (DZI), it is ensured that the funds are used sensibly. The Johanniter has been wearing the DZI donation seal since 2004, which is renewed annually by disclosing economic conditions and organizational work. The adequate distribution of advertising and administrative costs is also taken into account.

The 20th anniversary of the lunch table for everyone impressively shows how sustainable and effective voluntary work and professional social work can be combined. The initiatives not only help the needy, but also strengthen social cohesion in the community.
