Christmas in Floridsdorf: Mayor Ludwig distributes gifts to children!
Frömmlgasse, 1210 Wien, Österreich - On December 20, 2024, Mayor Michael Ludwig visited the social market of the Samaritan Association in Provenlgasse in Floridsdorf, where he and a Santa Claus distributed 300 gifts to children of the customers. This traditional event underlines social cohesion in the Christmas season, as Ludwig emphasized: "It is important to me to continue this loving tradition. Especially in the Christmas season, social cohesion in our city is once again a very special meaning." The importance of institutions such as the social markets that offer 25,000 registered customers access to affordable foods and hygiene articles has become all the more important in the current economic situation because more and more people need support.
Georg Papai, the district leader of the 21st Vienna district, was also present and helped distribute the gifts. He emphasized that rising living costs bring many families into financial needs. It is all the more significant to support projects such as “Play Christkind”, through which numerous Christmas wishes of children of the social market customers could be fulfilled, according to the managing director of the Samaritan Association of Vienna, Oliver Löhlein. Dr. Susanne Drapalik, President of the Samaritan Association of Vienna, added that many children often go away empty at Christmas, which reinforces the need for support.
gifts and gratitude
Mayor Ludwig and district head Papai took time to thank the work of the Samaritan Association employees who ensure that people in need are supported in Vienna every day. The organization is dependent on donations in order to be able to carry out the ongoing aid campaigns. Due to the decline in donated foods and the increase in demand, support is more urgent than ever. "We are very pleased that Mayor Ludwig and district head Papai will find the time to visit our social market again this year, and thank you warmly for the associated recognition," says Löhlein.
These unforgettable moments during the Christmas campaign set a strong sign of social cohesion and support those in need of help in the city, as well as DetailsOrt Frömmlgasse, 1210 Wien, Österreich Quellen
