Large aid campaign on June 6th: Spar and Red Cross Donate Donations!

Burgenland, Österreich - On June 6, 2025, a very special day of action takes place, which was launched by Spar in cooperation with the Red Cross. The aim of this initiative is to support households affected by poverty in the region and at the same time to set a sign against food waste. The event is carried out in four savings branches in Burgenland, where all friends of good food and social responsibility are invited to donate durable food and hygiene articles. This reports bvz.at .

What exactly is collected? The donations can include rice, canned goods, noodles and hygiene products. Voluntary helpers: Inside the Red Cross are available in the markets to meet the collected goods. This ensures that the donated items benefit directly to the households affected by poverty in the region. The action day is part of the "Team Austria Tafel" initiative, which has set itself the goal of supporting people in financially difficult conditions and helping them with free food donations. A call that Sparkt managing director Mag. Alois Huber also supports in order to work with small gestures.
