Latest update from 2018-09-28, Janina Abels and Tilmann visited and met up with 7 2 foodsavers.
Foodsharing Warszawa has around 60 members. They have cooperations with 20+ stores, which are mostly one-person pickups, managed through their Karrot group. Members are One Food-Share Point in university, not many regular cooperations and way too little volunteers. They try to condense their big facebook group for volunteers to build and actually functional group now.

Foodsharing Warszawa has around 60 members. They have cooperations with 20+ stores, which are mostly one-person pickups, managed through their Karrot group. Members are encouraged to bring picked up food to the public fridges (Jadłodzielnie). They are mostly communicating in their closed facebook group which has lots of discussions.

Agnieszka and Karolina started a facebook group based on foodsharing.de's experience around March 2016. 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. Stores: The most lacking part so far. No regular pick-ups, just spontaneous calls from a bakery, a chef-in-training, and a seafood store. Legal: foodsharing Warszawa doesn't want to register as an organization, because as private individuals noone is liable for possible problems due to the FSPs. Difficulties: getting more stores to cooperate. Will focus from Oct. 2016 onwards to get regular cooperations. The Polish gift law, which makes the recipient of a gift pay 10% of its value to the state. Solutions for handling the gift tax problem:
How does it work? Extensive use of facebook: They have no quiz. 3 trial pick-ups are needed to become a verified foodsaver, two meetings must be visited to get the password to the orga-googledrive. On that drive there are spreadsheets about FSPs, pick-ups and verified and aspiring foodsavers, meeting minutes, a general rules sheet, flyers and posters, also to approach stores and basically everything they work on. The googledrive is like the office of foodsharing Warsaw, and who has the password is part of the orgateam. Still dreaming of translating foodsharing.de. Interested to try out a basic software. Already thinking about building an app for themselves. |

Many Food-Share Points all over the city, but mostly put up by a different organization. Basically no regular cooperations with stores, but spontaneous pickups when called. Unclear state of collaboration with the other organization, but definitely motivation to proceed.
