Volkshilfe Burgenland: Hope and concern for the future of the aid projects
In 2024, Volkshilfe Burgenland supported more than 20,000 people in the region. According to President Verena Dunst, these help offers came about through a variety of projects, including the STOFFLIFENFONDS, the "Burgenland gives" campaign and the established house nursing. Around 1,000 employees visit people in need of care every day in their own four walls - from Kittsee to Kalch. The "living umbrella" was able to help with 97 delogings, since a total of around 350,000 euros were taken over to rental debts to preserve families from loss of their apartments, as Dunst in a balance sheet discussion, as orf Burgenland reports .
The range of services ranges from the avert delogings to social markets and financial aid in emergency situations. In addition to the numerous full -time employees, over 100 volunteers are also involved. Overall, the help offers in 2024 received more than “several hundreds of thousands of euros” in donations to finance the social projects. Volkshilfe would like to continue to offer active programs in the coming time, but has concerns about the support of the Ministry of Social Affairs under a possible new government, such as meinzirk.at reported. The continuation of the “Vacation of Poverty” project is on the brink.

The “Sonnenmobil” project, a mobile social market, is also part of the comprehensive help for necessary help. Despite the low use, Dunst is optimistic: "We do not want to give up the project, no matter in any form." In addition, 100,000 purchases have been made in the newly founded social markets over the years. The support for flood victims also amounted to around 50,000 euros. Numerous gift requests were met for Christmas and special school campaigns were also carried out.
for 2025, Volkshilfe also plans to deal with food use more in order to buy and use food more efficiently. Concepts such as "remaining cooking" should help reduce the waste of food. Dunst is certain: "We will also do our best next year to help people in Burgenland."
