What Familien does

Familien- und Altenhilfe e.V. is a registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1969 in Schwabach, Germany by engaged local citizens, representatives of both Christian churches, and social organizations to support disadvantaged residents in their daily lives. Until the January 1, 2024 merger with AWO Kreisverband Mittelfranken-Süd, the organization operated three core service lines: ambulatory nursing care (Ambulante Pflege) for elderly and care-dependent individuals, childcare services (Kinderbetreuung), and the Tafel Schwabach food bank. Its approximately 150 employees in ambulatory care and children's services were transferred to AWO at the time of the merger, and the main office at Penzendorfer Str. 20 has since been closed.

The organization's revenue model relied primarily on refinancing through German social security systems — Pflegekassen (statutory care insurance funds) for ambulatory care and youth welfare offices for childcare — supplemented by membership dues, individual and corporate donations, and targeted grants such as the €2,250 received from Deutsche Fernsehlotterie via Tafel Deutschland in September 2023. Go-to-market was entirely community-led: services were delivered directly to Schwabach residents via home visits, physical daycare locations, and the weekly Tafel food distribution at Haus der Begegnungen. Marketing was minimal and based on word-of-mouth, church networks, and a basic informational website (familien-und-altenhilfe.de). Post-merger, the legal entity continues to exist within the AWO Familie, retaining primarily its social-engagement mandate and the Tafel Schwabach food bank, while ambulatory care and childcare operations are now run by AWO from new locations.
