US troops in Germany told to seek food banks amid shutdown  DW  11/05/2025
""The web page also contained a "running list of German support organizations for your kit bags" that included charities like Foodsharing e.V. and Essen fur Alle (Food for All), as well as the app Too Good To Go. At the top of the list was Tafel Deutschland, which it described as "the umbrella organization distributes food to people in poverty through its more than 970 local food banks.""
""These shutdowns have become very common in the US in recent years, regardless of who's in charge, but typically they're also resolved fairly quickly. As of Tuesday, the current shutdown entered its 36th day and became the longest on record. Soldiers are among the federal government employees whose pay should be frozen as a result. The Trump administration found funds to cover October 15""
US Army Garrison Bavaria supports about 36,000 troops across Rose Barracks, Tower Barracks, Hohenfels and Garmisch. A garrison web page warned that the shutdown will impact services while assuring that life, health and safety services will continue. The page included a running list of German support organizations such as Foodsharing e.V., Essen fur Alle and the app Too Good To Go, and highlighted Tafel Deutschland as an umbrella distributing food through more than 970 local food banks. On Wednesday the garrison removed references to those German food banks from the page, though some listings remained in a separate document. As of Tuesday the shutdown entered its 36th day and became the longest on record, and soldiers are among federal employees whose pay should be frozen; the Trump administration found funds to cover October 15.
