“…to equip their offspring with the "proper" clothing to withstand the scrutiny of their peers. However, it may be much more surprising that some people use the Tafel because of the opportunities for social participation it provides rather than only for reasons of economic insecurity (Mulquin et al, 2000;Plößer, 2009). Especially the fact that people have to prove their neediness at most of the Tafel initiatives suggests that they would feel "needy".…”

Purpose -Charitable food assistance in affluent societies shows a polarisation between growing abundance, on the one hand, and social exclusion, on the other. It establishes a connection between both sides. In Germany, such charity is especially represented by the so-called Tafel non-profit organisation. The purpose of this article will be to explore the structural problems of the non-profit organisations' charitable practices. Design/methodology/approach -This qualitative study encompassed Tafel initiatives, the donating businesses and the people on the receiving end. Findings -It will be shown that collecting and distributing excess food is at least an ambivalent, to some degree even conflictive means and that it is hardly the solution to the social and ecological problems addressed. Charitable food assistance contributes more to cementing exclusion and excess rather than to overcoming them. Originality/value -The article will draw conclusions on unrealistic views of exclusion and problematic operations of the movement itself.
