Heart project saves Christmas: Christmas trees for needy families

On December 23, 2022, the district rescue command Baden initiated a heart -efficient action, the "Action: Christmas Baum" to support families in need with a festive Christmas tree. Under the direction of district rescue commander Markus Pechhacker, the helpers started to make sure that nobody has to sit in an "empty living room" on Christmas Eve. This project, which was launched in 2020, aims to help families who cannot afford a Christmas tree, such as "https://www.noen.at/baden/christbaumspende- vortager-Fuer-badener-Rot-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-Kreuz-zirksstab- 453674635" Target = "Blank"> Noen.at reported.

This special effort was organized for the third time, with Ing. Arno Brandl provided five Christmas trees from his private forest, the Zobelhof. This time the Obi Baden team also helped by donating Christmas tree decorations that will make many children's eyes shine.

In addition to the trees, Christian Schagl from the Glaserei Schagl in Bad Vöslau personally provided sweets.

Nevertheless, the red-cross 'idea of love for humans' is also supported by the population and the business.
