Violets are packaging gifts for children in need

Austria Wien is involved in the charity campaign “Weihnachten im Schuhkarton” (“Christmas in a shoebox") for children in need. Players and their support team of the two professional teams as well as numerous Austria Wien employees packed their individual shoe box with winter clothes, sweets and games. Christoph Monschein, Manprit Sarkaria and Co. had a lot of fun packing and also sent personal dedications.

Together with fun games, sweets and little footballs, necessary things like hoods, warm vests, scarves, gloves, socks, school supplies, hygiene products and toothbrushes were packed in the Generali Arena on Thursday afternoon and placed symbolically under Austria Wien’s Christmas tree.

Each player and employee chose their individual gifts for each parcel and wrote a personal letter to the child. Finally, the desired age category (2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 years) and gender were noted on the finished shoebox.

Violet is more

Austria Wien’s CSR team is now bringing the gift packages to the social organization “Die barmherzigen Brüder”, where everyone can still deliver their own personal shoe box or put together their gift package online at https://www.die-samariter.org/. Until November 30^th, the parcels can also be sent to the merciful Samaritans.

Whether by truck, ship or carriage - the gift packages take long journeys to bring children more than a moment of happiness. Since 1993, worldwide more than 167 million children in need have been gifted with “Weihnachten im Schuhkarton” - in more than 150 countries.
