Dear Community,

Instead of a Christmas gift, this year we want to give the feeling of having done something good.

Therefore, we have decided to donate the amount allocated for customer gifts to the following organizations:

As it was important to us to make a positive impact locally, the first recipient of our donation is "Aufwind e. V. Bunter Kreis Ludwigsburg." It was particularly special that we had the opportunity to personally meet one of the helping hands. This allowed us to gain a deeper insight into their valuable work.

Aufwind e. V. is dedicated to families in the Ludwigsburg region whose lives have dramatically changed due to the effects of premature birth or the chronic or life-threatening illness of their children. In an impressive manner, the organization supports these families in coping with illness, accompanies them as they start their new lives, and provides support for all their worries and concerns.

The second of the two organizations we are supporting this year is the "Kindernothilfe." This organization is fully committed to helping children achieve their basic rights and providing them with a solid start in life. Kindernothilfe provides humanitarian aid in crisis situations, facilitates access to education, improves everyday living conditions, and organizes assistance for self-help. Working together with local partners, the organization develops sustainable projects to bring about long-term positive changes. Thus, Kindernothilfe supports more than 2.1 million children and young people worldwide in 36 countries, guiding them towards an independent and self-determined life.

At this point, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the helpers who contribute wholeheartedly every day and make a significant contribution to improving our society.

We wish all affected families, children, and helpers a peaceful Christmas season, a good and healthy start to the new year, and hope that our donation could make a small contribution.
