Fundraising at Kids' Playground in DRC: Blumen Kaiser Gathers € 1,500 through Cookie Sales
In the heart of Neugraben, a flower shop named Blumen-Kaiser has been making a significant difference in the lives of local children for 32 years. Every year, the shop sells homemade cookies baked by a regular customer, Brigitta Engel, with the earnings going directly to a charitable cause.
This year, the donations were made to the Kinderteller of the DRK Hamburg-Harburg, a local initiative that provides meals for children who suffer from hunger on weekends. The donation enabled meals worth €1,500 for these children.
The Kinderteller, funded entirely by donations and managed by the kindergarten management and volunteers, has been a recent addition to Blumen-Kaiser's support. For nine consecutive years, the flower shop has been benefiting the Neuwiedenthal kindergarten, and this year, the Kinderteller was chosen as the recipient of their donation.
The Kinderteller's efforts were initiated to address the issue of food insecurity among some children in the neighbourhood. An investigation revealed that some parents could not afford food for their children on weekends or prepare it for other reasons.
Melanie Kaiser, one of the owners of Blumen-Kaiser, stated that they aim to help locally and chose the Kinderteller of DRK Hamburg-Harburg nine years ago as the recipient of their donation. Lothar Bergmann, President of the DRK Harburg, was surprised by the donation during a visit to Blumen-Kaiser. He expressed his pride in the kindergarten staff for launching the Kinderteller and their efforts in organising donations and providing warm meals for children in need.
The Kinderteller welcomes donations and volunteers to support its efforts. Information on how to donate or get involved as a volunteer can be found on their website. The donations from Blumen-Kaiser and the cookies of regular customer Engel can provide meals for about four weekends.
The concept of selling cookies for donations was introduced to generate more funds for the charity. It's a simple yet effective way to make a difference in the lives of children who are affected by hunger on weekends. The earnings from the cookie sales, after deducting the costs of baking ingredients, are donated to the Kinderteller.
Local initiatives like Round Table and other community groups are known for organizing similar efforts to support vulnerable children and food banks. However, the specific organization collecting donations for the DRK Harburg children's food pantry was not explicitly named in the provided search results. It is likely that local volunteers or DRK-related community supporters manage the collections.
The kindergarten teachers at Neuwiedenthal Kita Grüne Insel noticed that some children were eating more on Fridays and Mondays due to food insecurity. This observation led to the creation of the Kinderteller, ensuring that no child goes hungry over the weekend. The Kinderteller continues to benefit the local community by providing meals for children who suffer from hunger on weekends.
