Upper Austrian insurance donates 1,000 euros to Moosbach fire brigade!

The Upper Austrian insurance shows how it works! Instead of the traditional distribution of calendars, three employees, Harald Ertl, Sebastian Ranftl and Oliver Augustin, brave courageously and donated 1,000 euros to the Moosbach volunteer fire brigade. This generous contribution is intended to help finance important equipment such as personal protective equipment. The decision to do without the calendar distribution is a sign against the increasing energy costs and a waste of resources, as they explained. It is a really creative solution that shows that non -profit help does not always have to be bound to the usual forms. This not only emphasizes the importance of the fire brigade, but also sets a strong sign of responsibility and community.

Poverty risk in Austria and Germany

While the focus here is on local in Austria, a look at the poverty hazard in Germany takes a look at a shadow play on social responsibility. According to a current report, over 1.3 million people in Austria are affected by poverty, which makes the challenge all the more urgent. The risk of poverty is officially defined as the condition in which humans have such a small means that they are excluded from the social lifestyle that is considered a minimum in the country. This definition follows the EU requirements and illustrates how important it is to pay attention to the needs of the less beneficiaries.

In the context of the poverty risk, it is striking that young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 in particular are severely affected. Here is the poverty risk rate for alarming 24.6%. And women are also affected by this problem with 15.1 % above average, as the social report in 2024 explained in detail. In summary, it turns out that initiatives such as the donation of the Upper Austrian insurance not only have their place locally, but also in the greater framework of social responsibility. Billa's fundraising campaign, which supports people in poverty with basic foods, is another example of how organizations can actively contribute to combating poverty. In view of this reality, it becomes clear that every contribution counts in order to strengthen the social structure and to help those in need.
