Make -up: 700 Christmas roast for the needy in the needy

On St. Nicholas Day there could have been no more festive action! The Salzgitteran Koch Gianluca Calabrese and his team again conjured up around 700 Christmas roasts and numerous side dishes, which were then distributed to needy people in the region. As chairman of the “Super Salzgitter” association, Calabrese has been passionate about this matter of the heart for five years. "It's just nice to see how people are happy," he said. The meals were brought home both on site and people, which is of great importance, especially in times when many live alone. "We do this to put a smile on the face," Gianluca described the motivation behind this charitable action, which was already created during the Corona pandemic, like regionalheute.de reported.

a marathon of joy

In the night of December 5, Gianluca started preparations at 9 p.m. and cooked further until the next morning at 12 noon - a true marathon project! In addition to the main course, delicious red cabbage and dumplings also had to be prepared. The costs for this heart -warming campaign amount to a proud 4,000 to 5,000 euros, which are financed by supporting sponsors such as companies Borchers and Kaufland, as well as personal contributions from Gianluca. "4,500 to 5,000 euros - that is a large sum, but the joy in the faces of the people is priceless," said Calabrese about news38.de .

The "rolling Christmas roast" is now an integral part of the pre -Christmas period in Salzgitter and is becoming increasingly popular. The campaign shows that even small gestures can have great influence like a warm meal. "It is a small but important sign of solidarity," said Gianluca. For many, the banquet is a valuable change in Advent, which gives them the feeling of not being forgotten.
