Leoben celebrates an overwhelming fundraiser: 450 gifts for children!

The Christmas packer campaign of the city of Leoben shows remarkable results: This year a total of 450 gifts for needy children were collected. The campaign, which took place for the fourth time in cooperation with the Austrian Red Cross, enjoyed an enormous response among the population. Under the motto "Gift from the Christ child", the packers for children aged 0 to 14 years were collected and handed in in the town hall or directly at the Red Cross. Mayor Kurt Wallner praised the great commitment of the Leobener: "I am very pleased that you support this charity campaign and thus prepare a beautiful Christkindl," he emphasized. The gifts are distributed in the coming days by the employees: inside the Red Cross, who personally stop by the families to celebrate and bring joy.

support from the Polymer Competence Center Leoben GmbH (PCCL), whose employees donated a large part of their Christmas vouchers. "We are very happy when a few children's eyes shine more on Christmas Eve," the company proudly said. In addition, the high number of packers collected shows that this action makes a real difference. As leoben.at , over 300 packers were collected in the first round of the campaign, which was also supported by service clubs such as the Kiwanis Club Leoben. These supporters also lovingly bought and packed gifts to help the needy children.

As in previous years, the campaign aims to put a smile on the face of all children, regardless of the financial means of their families. The city of Leoben shows that solidarity is strongly pronounced in the community and that many are willing to make their contribution to make others happy. The anticipation for distributing the gifts is growing, and everyone involved hopes that every packer will become an unforgettable experience for the children.
