Christmas joy in Ulm: 320 children shine at the gift event!

On Saturday, December 23, 2024, the DRK board in Ulm turned into a festive Christmas paradise when around 320 children had the opportunity to choose gifts. This impressive campaign, in which over 100 volunteers were involved, ensured radiant faces in the queue of more than 100 families who patiently waited for their gifts. Ronja Kemmer, President of the DRK district association Ulm, was on site and noticed the "sparkling eyes" of the children-many were so overwhelmed by the selection that the size of the packages surprised them. The gifts were collected by a call for donations via social media and cooperation with companies. 320 parcels were labeled exactly to do justice to every child, and the table shop was lovingly decorated to underline the Christmas mood, such as Schwäbische.de reported.

The Ulm Tafel shows remarkable stability, while in other regions of Baden-Württemberg the situation is more difficult. Stefan Brandt, head of the social services in the DRK district association, informed that around 220 people visit the board every day, which has dropped significantly compared to the weddings of the Ukraine secretary. Nevertheless, the team understands that it is important to offer adequate support even in times of high demand without introducing admission stops. The Ulm Tafel regulates the amount of articles and the frequency of purchasing in order to do justice to all customers. This approach is also shown in the Ehinger Tafelladen, which for many people represents essential shopping and where the team regularly not only ensures daily needs, but also for special programs such as holiday campaigns and Christmas dinner, such as drk-ulm.de reported.
