Yes, you are complaining and that is my response to your complaint about incompetent organisations.

Take my statement as "if one body doesn't work, there are other bodies that do work and want to get involved". If there is no foodsharing organisation in the Netherlands yet, start it with people who want to and can do it. Use the skills and experience of the German network for this, for example.

To be able to counteract bottlenecks like the one you are experiencing now.

For some time, I worked with my husband as a food collector and we cycled to the various bakeries, supermarkets and event locations to collect the food. As long as there are supermarkets with full shelves, bakeries that have to throw away their goods due to overproduction and events that have food catering with leftover food, you can count on the collection and distribution to work. If one place doesn't work, switch to alternatives. There are always ways to get food.

Now tell me one thing, I go to the Tafel and say please help me, and where I will get the money to buy the food for the 270 refugees? Using my own salary?

You don't need money for this. You need people and work on those things which are promising and abandon those who aren't.

If you don't want help or suggestions in response to a situation you describe as a need, then rephrase it.
