Corporate Giving 2022: we donate to these aid organisations

Although Christmas was almost a month ago, we still want to tell you which charitable organisations received our Christmas donations last year.

After supporting Sternenstunden e.V., Doctors Without Borders and the WWF in 2021, we chose three new organisations last year in collaboration with our employees:

Münchner Tafel e.V.

There are over 960 food banks throughout Germany that rescue food that is no longer being sold and donate it to people living in poverty. In Munich, around 800 volunteers provide over 23,000 needy Munich residents with food every week. This means that 130,000kg of food is saved from being thrown away every week and is also donated to people in need. We want to support this and would like to thank all the people who are involved with the Münchener Tafel.

Kinder-Palliativ-Hilfe Niederbayern

Children suffering from incurable diseases usually receive palliative care. Specialists in paediatric and adolescent medicine and experts in psychosocial work endeavour to make the lives of the children and their families as varied as possible. However, the amounts provided by the health insurance funds are not sufficient to finance the highly individualised care. For this reason, Children’s Palliative Care aims to offset the remaining costs with donations to those affected. Here, too, we were very touched by the fates of the families, which is why we want to support the care of the children with our donation at Christmas.

Förderverein zur Unterstützung bolivianischer Straßenkinder

This organisation was suggested to us by a dedicated employee. Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in the world, where many children do not have access to clean drinking water, sufficient food or medical care. Life is particularly dangerous in the cities due to the high crime rate. The development organisation teaches local children how they can provide for themselves in the countryside, for example by growing their own food. This is intended to prevent migration to the city. At the same time, the organisation helps children who are already living on the streets of the city. It provides first aid, offers emergency accommodation and runs its own shared flats so that the children can grow up in safety and build their own lives in the future. We would like to thank our employee for this recommendation and the volunteers of the support organisation for their help.
