An additional attention to the support of needy families, the association families in need, which has provided help over 2.5 million euros since its foundation in 1990 to support over 1000 families in difficult financial positions, as reported on family-in-not.blogspot.com. The organization receives its funds mainly from the fundraising campaign "Pre -Christmas of the good heart", which is carried out annually by local newspapers, informed those responsible for the association. An aid fund is filled in order to be able to provide help in acute emergency situations.

The association also has a special priority: to support children and adolescents in low -income families so that social exclusion and disadvantage are reduced. For example, grants are provided for school trips or tutoring in order to enable these children better integration and opportunities in society. The close cooperation with social authorities and other charitable organizations ensures that the help arrives where it is urgently needed.

Thanks to the great wave of helpfulness, the basis for future actions is strengthened and it becomes clear how important communal engagement in our society is. Both Ö3 and the association families in need show how to provide significant help through solidarity and cooperation.
