"Sonja Bongers lauds initiative 'United against Poverty'"
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the issue of addressing poverty has been a topic of discussion among local politicians. The latest meeting of the Social Affairs Committee saw Chairwoman Sonja Bongers, also a member of the North Rhine-Westphalia State Parliament and the SPD City Council faction, highlighting the struggles faced by the food bank in Oberhausen.

She suggested that the city could provide relief to the food bank with state funding, a move that would benefit socially disadvantaged people in Oberhausen.
