Christmas parcels are now being collected for them.

Freising

- With over 800 packages for senior citizens that were collected during the Christmas campaign last year, the third edition of the fundraising campaign for seniors was a complete success.

The project is now entering its fourth round.

The spontaneous idea in 2018 to start a fundraising campaign for seniors became a great success thanks to the active help of many citizens, so that the campaign could be continued in the following years.

Everyone took part in the distribution

True to Mark Twain's motto "The best way to make yourself happy is to try to make someone else happy", Vincent Zeitler (formerly Kammerloher) would like to again this year, together with his team, with the aid campaign for elderly people in need and those who are alone and have no one left to make the Christmas season a little more beautiful. In 2020, the citizens of the district would have shown “a high level of commitment and a lot of empathy”, says Zeitler, so that shortly before Christmas 15 institutions for senior citizens were able to look forward to a large part of the packages. In addition, the parcel team was supported by an outpatient care service in Zolling and the owners of the Pizzeria Portofino in Attaching. This made it possible to give away all gifts to private households and institutions.

(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

Attention: Submit by December 13th at the latest!

The shining eyes of the recipients made it clear to Vincent that there must be another campaign like this in 2021.

And the successful concept remains: from home for home, regionally, locally.

The aim is to bring the parcels to the retirement homes and give the people who live there a little joy at the party.

But many elderly people also live in their own four walls in the district, without access to social life.

So if you know someone who is alone and would be happy to receive a package at Christmas time, you should contact seniorenhilfe-freising@web.de.

take up.

And if you want to please an old person with a Christmas package, you should hand in your package by Monday, December 13th at the latest.

All of this is suitable as a gift

All beautiful things can be packed, nothing perishable, things that can be kept (coffee, tea, crackers, chocolate), but nothing that has to be cooked or prepared before consumption, hygiene articles, puzzle books, magazines or a book.

What shouldn't be missing in the Christmas season are cookies, gingerbread or jam.

A self-written Christmas card, a cuddly toy or other personal gifts and handicrafts from the children are also welcome.

Please mark the parcels whether they have been put together for a woman, a man or neutrally so that you can find the right addressee.
