Family power at the Red Cross: This is how the Ratzenböcks are involved!

Grieskirchen, Österreich - In the beautiful Grieskirchen, the volunteering is very important to the Red Cross, and two families in particular stand out: the Ratzenböcks and the Kronlachners. These committed families show how diverse and enriching this can be. Martin Ratzenböck, who came to the Red Cross in 1993 through civilian service, is now active as an emergency paramedic. His two daughters also work in the emergency services. Lea (24) found her place in an intensive care unit, while Mara (21) combines her voluntary work with studying health and nursing. This family connection impressively shows how strongly social engagement within the family is encouraged.

The Kronlachner family also has a long tradition in the emergency services. Gerhard (59) also started his way to the Red Cross via community service and has been active for over 30 years, mainly in the field kitchen and technology group. His children Laura (30) and Alexander (28) are also involved as a volunteer - Laura in ambulance and Alexander at the youth red cross. They emphasize how positive their experiences are and how the social exchange strengthens the cooperation with help.

help with heart - volunteers wanted!

In view of these impressive honorary positions, it is no wonder that the district offices of the Red Cross in Grieskirchen and Eferding are actively looking for new volunteers. This ensures that the supply of the population will continue to be guaranteed in the future. However, the responsibility associated with volunteering demands, but does not overwhelm. In this sense, it is promised that the tasks are individually adjusted and all the necessary skills are conveyed in training. Interested parties can already be found on the website www.passende-jacke.at more information and get an insight into how you can get involved.

But not only in Austria the voluntary commitment is of great importance. Germany's Red Cross also offers a wide range of opportunities to become active. In addition to the classic emergency services, there are numerous areas of work at home and abroad, for example in hospitals, old people's homes or facilities for people with disabilities. If you are interested, you can contact the contact person of the German Red Cross - it is waiting for an exciting and fulfilling task. Here, too, the focus is on individual funding, so that everyone can be integrated according to their strengths. More information on this can be found on the website of the German Red Cross

summarized it should be noted that volunteering at the Red Cross is a mission that is passed on from generation to generation. It's not just about helping others, but also about gaining valuable social experiences. The Ratzenböcks and Kronlachners show how fulfilling it can be to do good in their free time and to positively influence the lives of others.

So no longer wait and learn more about the possibilities to get involved. Working in volunteering is an enrichment for everyone - both for the helpers and for those who need help.
