There are also glimmers of hope in the year of the crisis: By Christmas, the two donation accounts had received 130,266.28 euros, almost exactly the same as last year.
The usual cash crash just before Christmas Eve surprised publishers and regional publishers, because it was not to be expected given the bad news of the last few months. However, even larger and smaller amounts reliably enter the aid accounts during the holidays and at the end of the year, so that one can hope for a result like that in 2021, when 150,723.16 euros were finally booked – for concrete help in the neighborhood and for selected social projects in the neighborhood.
Christmas greetings could be fulfilled
Already at Christmas many of the wishes of the needy associated with the holiday could be fulfilled. For several years, these have been the focus of individual assistance in the first phase of the campaign, as Meinhard Schamotzki from Diakonisches Werk explains. The CEO coordinates the distribution of BZ donations for the Free Welfare League in the district, whose member associations receive the many hundreds of applications.
