Spar supports Caritas: New vehicle for care in Lower Austria

In Vienna, the Spar grocery chain recently handed over a new car to Caritas of the Diocese of St. Pölten. This gift comes in support of the nursing staff who were lost during the devastating floods in Lower Austria. Five of Caritas' emergency vehicles were destroyed by the flooded conditions, severely impacting mobility and care for people in need in the area.

Spar managing director Alois Huber commented on the donation: "Caritas' mobile nursing staff are the 'local providers of charity' and provide an indispensable service for the people in our region. As a long-standing partner of Caritas, it is a matter close to our hearts to help and support care in these challenging times." This initiative demonstrates Spar's commitment to the community and its needs in critical times.

Gift for the nurses

In addition to the vehicle, Spar also provided a trunk full of sweets and snacks for handover. This should serve as a small thank you for the tireless work of the nursing staff, who tirelessly looked after the people in need of care during the difficult flood situation.

Christoph Riedl, Secretary General of Caritas, expressed his gratitude for the generous support. He said: "Spar - just like us as Caritas - is deeply rooted in the region and close to the people in Lower Austria. This support enables us to continue to be there for people in the region and to do what we do best: to help."

The handover of the vehicle and donations is a sign of solidarity in difficult times and emphasizes the important role that organizations like Caritas play in supporting local people. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on medianet.at.
