Sparkasse Vorpommern supports athletes with 1500 euros for minibus!

In Greifswald, the Sparkasse Western Pomerania conjures up a smile in numerous faces during this Christmas season! With a generous donation of 1,500 euros, the bank supports the Christmas campaign of the Baltic Sea newspaper, which aims to finance a new minibus for the HSG Uni Greifswald. "It is a matter of the heart for us that we are also there this year," explains Christin Hartkopf, the head of the branch in Greifswald. This bus is intended to make traveling to tournaments and sporting events easier for over 2,000 members of the HSG. At the moment, the athletes are often dependent on the help of parents, which should now be made easier with this support.

But that is not the only sign of the social engagement of the Sparkasse Vorpommern. As can be read on vorpommern Sparkasse blog , the bank also gave a whopping 49,000 euros in the region, for needy people in cities To support Greifswald, Stralsund and Anklam. These organizations save foods that can no longer be sold and thus provide people who often cannot afford a balanced diet. 'Especially now in the Christmas season it is important that our approximately 800 customers, including almost 200 children, are reliably provided with food,' emphasizes Walter Kienast, chairman of the Greifswalder Tafel.

a ray of hope for the needy

The commitment of the Sparkasse comes at a critical time. According to Andreas Steppuhn, the chairman of the Tafel Germany, the figures of the people dependent on boards have increased by 50 percent since the beginning of the Ukraine War. In the region, many plates are now forced to impose admission stops. The support of 49,000 euros is therefore urgently needed and is not only actively evaluated as a financial relief, but also as a planning basis for the future of the board.
