Christmas trucker: gifts for the needy in Vienna until December 20th

in Vienna, the run -up to Christmas is not only a time of gifting, but also of giving. The Johanniter are once again organizing a campaign called "Christmas trucker" to support children in need. Gift packages can be handed in at various acceptance points in Vienna until December 20. This is an excellent opportunity to make others happy while the time until Christmas Eve is shortened.

The collected packages consist of important foods, hygiene articles and small gifts. These donations not only go to children in the poorest regions of Europe, but also to families in Vienna who face the challenges of poverty. "This year the packages in our Christmas truckers are largely going to Romania. Up to a third of all children are affected by poverty," explains Petra Grell-Kunzinger, the federal manager of the Johanniter Austria.

Participation in the campaign is simple: everyone can prepare packages and hand it over to the Johanniter. Especially larger groups from schools, kindergartens or companies can also become active by offering their collected packages directly for collection. The packages must be submitted in various locations in Vienna, including at the Haus Leopoldstadt homeless, where donations are accepted every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

It is important that the packages are similar in their content in order to avoid disappointments when it is open. A detailed packing list is available on the Johanniter website, which shows the desired items. This ensures that every child can have the great experience, a package for unbalancing that has been carefully compiled.

The "Christmas trucker" campaign shows how important solidarity and sense of community are, especially at a time when many people rely on help. For questions or further information, the website of the Johanniter offers comprehensive details about the acceptance points and the required articles.
