Gurkerl starts fundraising campaign for children in crisis areas!

The online supermarket Gurkerl is sending a powerful message to disadvantaged children in crisis areas with its new “Give Opportunities” fundraising campaign. This initiative, which runs until March 31, 2025, enables customers in the Vienna region to donate directly to Caritas Austria's educational projects when shopping online. You can use the “Online Voucher” function to select amounts of 5, 15, 30 or 50 euros. All funds raised go to supporting programs that provide children in need with a better future, such as kathpress.at reported.

This fundraiser is part of the current Caritas children's campaign, which aims to raise awareness of children's rights and access to education. As part of an additional “Caritas school bread” initiative, the sale of products from the Waldviertler organic bakery Joseph Brot is also supported, the proceeds of which also support educational projects. According to Caritas, around 251 million children worldwide are unable to attend school due to war, natural disasters or poverty. In 2023, Caritas reached around 156,000 children and young people with its programs.
