Eleven German employees serve breakfast to about 80 pupils in Puchheim
On July 17, 2026, eleven employees of Amway Germany worked alongside two coordinators at the Grundschule am Gernerplatz in Puchheim. They prepared waffles and smoothies for roughly 80 children.

Amway adds EUR 10,000 for the school breakfast in its 50th year in Germany
To mark 50 years of Amway in Germany, the company contributed EUR 10,000 to the project. Jon Voskuil, Managing Director for Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, said Amway wants to help when children in its home community start lessons without breakfast, and backs the project both financially and in the kitchen.
Amway was founded in Germany in 1975 and has been headquartered in Puchheim since 1991. From there it also steers business in Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. By its own account, the company donated more than EUR 400,000 to social projects in Germany between 2015 and 2024.
