Unsere Mitgliederanzahl wächst rasant, weshalb wir uns über weitere Freiwillige freuen würden, welche mittwochs von 13h30 bis ca. 17h30 mithelfen, die Ware zu verteilen. Mehr Infos findet ihr auf unserer Homepage, unserem Instagram-Account oder Facebook. Wir freuen uns auf neue Gesichter und Zuwachs in unserem Team!

These 5 principles aim to minimise waste by encouraging people to refuse what they don't need, reduce what they do need, and find ways to reuse and recycle materials to void sending them to landfills. Rotting, or composting, is also an important part of zero waste as it turns organic waste into nutrient-rich soil.

Students exemplify Youth Volunteerism

The students from International School Basel have graciously dedicated their time every Wednesday to help ThanksGiver set up, clean, organise, and hand out grocery deliveries in our Muttenz location. We thank these wonderful young ladies for their commitment and demonstrating their compassion and generosity to support our community.

Please contact us if your school would like to support a local non-profit organisation.

Some heroes wear aprons, not capes.

The holidays are all about giving and gratitude, so today we're saying a huge thank you to all of our volunteers and sponsors who make ThanksGiver possible!
On December 9 we celebrated the first anniversary of our food bank in Birsfelden, which would never have been possible without all of the love and support we've received.

This video captures the day and shows you what being a Thanksgiver is all about. Take a look for some Christmas cheer, and join us or become a sponsor if you want to spread warmth and kindness all year long. Even a small donation of 5 CHF/month helps a lot.

Many thanks to for the video!

ThanksGiver goes to the Theatre

On Saturday 20th November, ThanksGiver went to the Boutique Theatre in Basel. They hold brilliant events, and on this day had organised a Cabaret and Cake evening. A fun night with music, theatre, and delicious desserts! Visit their website to find out what other great events they have planned - https://www.boutiquetheatrebasel.com/

We met many wonderful people who were interested in chatting and learning more about ThanksGiver's work. We got some very generous donations and, of course, sold our awesome, colourful umbrellas! If you are interested in getting your hands on one yourself, head over to our shop - https://www.thanksgiver.ch/shop.

We have a shop!

In our goal to raise money and keep feeding the local community we are excited to announce we have opened an online shop, with all proceeds going straight to Thanksgiver.

We did a lot of research and came up with many MANY ideas on the best product to offer, and decided on something unique and fun, but also practical; colourful, inside-out umbrellas.

Double Layered - two layers keep these umbrellas 'windproof'. Wind vents on the interior layer allow wind gusts to flow through without the risk of turning your umbrella inside out.

Reversible design - reverse folding design keeps the rain on the inside of the umbrella when closed. Hang it up on your coat hooks without worrying that your coats will get wet!

'Hands-free' handle - The special C-shaped handle loops onto your wrist, giving you access to both of your hands. No more fumbling around with your bag or cellphone single-handed.

Colourful designs - a wide range of designs to choose from and, best of all, the design is on the inside, so YOU can enjoy the colour on those rainy, grey days.

We only have a limited number in stock, so be sure to grab one whilst you can. Head over to www.thanksgiver.ch/shop to get yours today!

This is only the beginning and we hope to introduce more items in the future so, to stay updated, please subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to hear of our exciting plans!

This year, the power and perseverance of the volunteers that raise their hands and come out to Volunteer with the ThankGiver Foodbank has reached new heights. We are humbled and honored to have such a dedicated crew with hearts that know no boundaries – well, except staying 6 feet apart due to social distancing! 😊

Please share guys 🙏🌺
