The Wörth/Hörlkofen neighborhood help offers a low-threshold opportunity to ask for help at the Hörlkofen Christmas market on December 4th: the wish box.
Wörth
– Alleviating emergencies with a wish box: At the Hörlkofen Christmas market on Sunday, December 4th, the Wörth/Hörlkofen neighborhood help is setting up a wish box for the first time in the town hall meeting room and is thus presenting a new idea.
You can fill out and post a slip either for yourself or as information for another person who needs help.
By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Erding newsletter.
"The box is a way to get in touch," explains Chairwoman Angelika Stempel in an interview with our newspaper.
Vice-Chairman Martina Eberl adds: "All inquiries are treated with the utmost confidentiality." One hopes that this offer will enable us to learn more about the concerns and needs of fellow human beings in order to be able to help specifically.
"Discretion is our top priority for everyone who contacts us," affirmed Eberl.
If you want to get to know the work of the neighborhood help better, you have the opportunity to do so at the information stand at the Christmas market.
The association has 120 members, cooperates with Caritas and has now also contacted the school social work and the support association of the Wörth elementary and middle school.
"Anyone who has difficulties should contact us," says Stempel.
One is aware that in view of the large price increases, the situation is currently tense and cases of hardship are to be expected.
But it is very difficult to find out where help is needed.
Neighborhood help is ready to help.
“We were able to help a family who were in need due to illness.
We also supported a single mother with two children," says Stempel.
20 seniors would regularly use the meal delivery service.
The fresh dishes come from the Holzer butcher shop in Wifling.
The pandemic has restricted volunteer work, but now everything has started again.
The memory training and the activities of the reading godparents are taking place again, and the neighborhood help provides family help.
The association also runs the dwarf garden for small children from two to four years of age in the old town hall of Hörlkofen, and in an emergency for a limited period of time takes over household chores and visits to the authorities, paperwork, looking after pets and watering the flowers during vacation.
Driving and shopping services are also part of the service, and the neighborhood help takes part in the community help groups for asylum seekers.
Anyone can claim benefits without being a member.
Anyone who wants to get involved in the helper or reading sponsor team has insurance cover.
Membership is not a prerequisite for active participation.
The neighborhood help Wörth/Hörlkofen was founded in 1993, since the beginning of 2003 it has been a registered association with acknowledgment of non-profit status.
The readers' aid organization "Light in the Hearts" of the Erdinger/Dorfener Anzeiger has been supporting charitable work for years.
