Christmas magic in Lübeck: experience punch, cookies and volunteering!

Like a shining pearl at the Lübeck Christmas market, the e Punkt “Merry Vereinshütte 2024” will make the hearts of visitors beat faster in the city center on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The Lübeck Community Diakonie offers a colorful range of activities: from punch and cookies to a wheel of fortune with a quiz and exciting conversations. This event attracts people to learn about the variety of volunteer opportunities in the spirit of community and support for those in need. Katja Schroeder, fundraiser for the community diaconate, emphasizes the importance of volunteering: “Without volunteer commitment, we would not be able to maintain many of our diaconal offerings.” This initiative impressively shows how important the commitment of volunteers is to the community.

A wide range of community diaconate services

The Gemeindediakonie Lübeck e.V. has been an indispensable support for children, families, refugees and the socially disadvantaged for over 150 years. 700 employees and numerous volunteers are committed to meeting the needs of those seeking advice. The offerings include the Ecumenical Station Mission, debt counseling and the health mobile, which provides medical care to people in need without health insurance. These social services have not only grown historically, but have also constantly adapted to people's needs today. Diaconal work always remains focused on the individual well-being of children, young people and families, as can be found on the community diaconal website: Church LL.

The networking of social services in Lübeck is not only evident at the Christmas market, but also through the large number of institutions that work together under the umbrella of community diaconia. Supporting migrants through language partnerships and comprehensive advice in crisis situations offers those affected a helping hand in challenging life situations. This combination of traditional diaconal work and modern social commitment thrives on the sustainable structure of the organizations that support the people in Lübeck.
