Germering – Jürgen Quest, head of the Germering food bank, would like to spread the responsibility for the food bank across several shoulders.
Social service board member Sabine Brügel-Fritzen can understand this very well: "I am infinitely grateful that Jürgen Quest, always highly motivated, has continued to professionalize the Tafel for eleven years, be it in terms of IT or the organizational structure, in resource planning or customer care or even during the corona pandemic, during which he safely steered the Tafel ship.” And almost every day he lent a hand himself, for example with the furniture construction during the various moves of the Tafel to new rooms, with the collection of goods in the early morning Morning hours or even when preparing the goods yourself. "Through his initiative, the Germeringer Tafel has become a real 'small Viktualienmarkt', which currently supports around 1,000 needy people (see front page) once a week with free groceries",praises Brügel-Fritzen.
The leader's task became too extensive
While there were 30 employees at the beginning of Quest's voluntary work, there are
currently almost 80 employees
on duty to pick up the goods from the shops, prepare them for distribution and then hand them out to customers on Tuesdays.
"Meanwhile, this diverse and interesting task has become so extensive that I can no longer manage it as a lone fighter in the management," explains Quest.
Team with focus
In order to set up the Germeringer Tafel for further growth in the future, a team with different focal points and different sub-areas is to be formed, in which the individually possible work assignment can then also be taken into account.
Fortunately , Quest has already been able to win
a
first deputy :
Reinhard Wilhelm
, who has been working for several months, is now also supporting Quest with many administrative tasks.
What to bring
They should be people who like to get in touch with others personally and by phone, who want to take responsibility, can find pragmatic solutions, lend a hand, are willing to integrate into the team of Tafel employees, and have a positive demeanor and a social streak.
Anyone who can imagine working on the board's management team should contact Quest on 0162 44 11 737 or by email at germeringer.tafel@web.de.
