Community: 15 core people who meet every two weeks, only 1 verified foodsaver so far (because of a lack of cooperations) and around 30 more aspiring ones (by 09/2016). After 10-20 interviews for different media in May they now get contacted by people all over Poland and other cities already started foodsharing initiatives as well.
Food-Share Points: 3 fridges, soon 4 (by 09/2016). They call them 'Jadłodzielnia' (from 'jadło' - the fodder + 'dzielić' - to share + '-nia' - marks a location). Are used by the people, but sometimes empty.

Community: community exists since about 4 years. They have monthly assemblies, to welcome new members. They used to be more open but limited the 'membership' at some point (I forgot why exactly). They pick up food twice a week and meet once a week to distribute the food (equally) among the contributing members (two people get one basket and share the food between each other). Before the food distribution there is an assembly. There are different sub groups in the community taking care of various tasks (communication, internal workshops, raising awareness at schools or other institutions, ...). The community is run very local (mostly Garcia as I understood) and also more or less analog. (Having one whatsapp group). They used to do their assemblies in a squat (Banc Expropriat), now in a new squat next to it (Ateneu Entrebanc).
Food-Share Points: No food share points.

Stefan started around April 2016 a facebook group (FB page with 780 likes (by 10/2016)) based on foodsharing.de's experience.
Community: Stefan is the only core person (from 04/16 to 08/16 he got help from a Taiwanese friend), about 15 Foodsaver who pick up food daily, lots of volunteers ask to help. After interviews for different media they got a lot of contacts, but nothing concrete followed, also because it’s very hard to coordinate the whole project with 1-2 core people.
Food-Share Points: 1 fridge and shelf since August 2016. They named it享食站 - Food Hub. It's frequently used by the people, but sometimes empty. A foundation contacted them to donate lots of fridges, but as they aren’t a legal organization, things are not that easy and they don’t have the time to handle this at the moment.
