On January 22nd we informed ourselves on site in the senior citizens' residence Landwasser about the topic of old age poverty and the use of our Christmas donation against old age poverty.
The donation will be used in several senior citizens' housing estates of the Workers' Welfare Association (AWO) Freiburg, so that residents with a low pension can take part in the lunch at the meeting place at a reduced price. The AWO-Freiburg offers residents in some senior housing estates the opportunity to take part in a joint lunch from Monday to Friday. The meal consists of soup, main course and dessert, which many residents can only afford on a few days of the week.
An important factor besides the common lunch is the opportunity to make social contacts. For many of the elderly people, the meeting at the lunch table is often the only long-term daily contact with third parties. As is well known, nursing services often do not have the time for longer conversations. The time spent at the common lunch table is a valuable 60 minutes during which the AWO staff in the meeting place not only serve the food but also listen and have a good conversation with everyone.
We are fully convinced and very happy that the AWO Freiburg is using our donation responsibly and caringly and gives the elderly people it cares for the feeling that they are not forgotten.
The Badisch Zeitung reports on the donation.
