SCHWALM (ol). Last year the Children’s Future Foundation managed to collect and distribute around 44,000 gifts with the “Christmas Packages for Children in Need” campaign. For the fifth time in a row, Asklepios Kliniken Nordhessen are once again participating in the campaign this year and are hoping for many hard-working packers.
“After last year we were only able to collect parcels with staff last year due to the Corona measures and the ban on visits to our homes, we are delighted that this year we can bring children’s eyes back to life. people together with citizens “, said the CEO of Asklepios Kliniken Nordhessen, Dr. Dagmar Federwisch and Katrin Kern.
Many children do not know what it means to receive personal gifts because they live in extremely poor conditions with their families. The collected parcels will be picked up by the Kinderzukunft foundation in different transports in December in Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and, if possible, in Ukraine.
There, parcels are distributed to orphans and street children, sick children and children of poor families in homes, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and slums, Asklepios clinics say in their press releases.
Christmas parcels can be delivered to the gates or receptions of the Asklepios clinics in Bad Wildungen (Stadtklinik, Fürstenhof and Helenenklinik), Melsungen and Schwalmstadt from Monday 31 October to Friday 25 November 2022 from 10:00 to 16:00. The hospitals will share the costs of three euros per package.
Do you want to support the campaign and give a Christmas package? Then fill a shoebox with toys, hygiene items, stationery, paint and crafts, or new clothes, for example. Sweets in their original packaging can also be given away, according to the press release.
“Wrap the box in gift paper, affix a label indicating who (girl or boy) and the age range of the package and return the gift by Friday 25 November 2022 at the collection points”.
