68,500 euros for volunteer work: Hochtaunus celebrates club diversity!
In an atmospheric ceremony, a total of 68,500 euros were handed over to 28 clubs in the Hochtaunus district. This event took place in the forum of the district office in Bad Homburg, where district administrator Ulrich Krebs and Oliver Klink, the chairman of the board of Taunus Sparkasse, presented the funds from the non-profit foundation and the “Kinder Lachen” foundation. The event once again highlighted how important volunteer work is for the region. “It is important to us to support this valuable work,” said Krebs in his speech.
The representatives of the sponsored associations had the opportunity to present their projects. With captivating stories and great ideas, they ensured that the audience got a good idea of their commitment. Musical performances by the Frankfurter Spatzen, who performed classics such as “When I was your man” and “Moon River”, as well as the Frohsinn 1841 Steinbach singing group, which performed during the break, rounded off the event.
Diverse projects in focus
The donations are used for a wide range of initiatives that enrich life in the Hochtaunuskreis. For example, theDRK district association HochtaunusBuy a drone for people searches while theEvangelical deanerysupported a traveling exhibition on the 80th anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's death. The area of childcare is also being addressed: a daycare center in Königsteiner Höfen is receiving funds for equipment to promote the compatibility of work and family.
In addition, funds come to theSchool support associationwho is planning to convert an atrium in the break hall, as well as theChildren's house, which is redesigning its outdoor area in a natural way. Also that oneKronthal Student Support Associationcan look forward to financial support for school trips and IT equipment while this happensDRK with homework support for children and young peoplemakes another important contribution.
Volunteering as the foundation of the community
A particularly important aspect of the event was the emphasis on volunteer work. TheCaritas Association Taunusemphasizes that volunteers not only get a lot in return - from gratitude to joy to deep satisfaction - but are also a valuable asset to the community. New ideas and skills flow into the organizations through these people.
The volunteers decide for themselves how and where they invest their time. They receive comprehensive support from the Caritas Association, including through training opportunities and permanent contact persons. Finally, necessary costs, such as travel costs, are also covered.
In conclusion, it can be said that today's donation handover is a living symbol of cohesion and commitment in the region. In times when volunteering is more in demand than ever, such initiatives show how valuable working together for a better future is.
