This visit is part of a long tradition of Mayor Ludwig, who has been visiting the social market in the run -up to Christmas for around 15 years. "Christmas is a feast of family and especially for children," said Ludwig, as in the press portal .

"Initiatives like this are a ray of hope for many and underline social cohesion in Floridsdorf," added district leader Georg Papai, who was also on site and supported the campaign.

The action for the distribution of gifts is made by the President of the Samaritan Association, Dr. Susanne Drapalik, described as crucial for the well -being of the children. "Not all families in Vienna can afford a Christmas with gifts," she emphasized. The Samaritan Association currently operates five social markets that support around 25,000 people in their daily purchasing. The increase in customers by 40 percent within one year shows how urgently these offers are needed. The Samaritan Association is dependent on donations in order to continue to ensure the necessary care and support for the needy in the future.
