Celebratory event held by philanthropic organization "Heart and Hand for the Poore" in Düsseldorf, distributing presents to those in need to mark their anniversary.
In the heart of Wersten, a community in Düsseldorf, the neighbourhood foundation "With Heart and Hand for Wersten" has been serving its residents since 2004. The foundation's mission is to look out for one another, providing help where it's needed.
The foundation, along with local churches and numerous Wersten residents, supports a food distribution centre located at Burscheider Straße 24. The centre operates on Tuesdays from 2:30 PM to 5 PM, catering specifically to Düsseldorf pass holders. Around 100 food packages are distributed weekly, a number that is currently on the rise due to the challenges posed by rising prices.
The demand for food packages is increasing as many individuals and families find themselves struggling to make ends meet. The foundation addresses this by networking volunteers and its board to identify the needs of those who might not ask for help themselves.
While coffee and tea are not typically part of the selection at the food distribution centre, on the occasion of the foundation's 20th anniversary, the board handed over 80 coffee and tea packages to the food distribution team.
For more information about the foundation, its mission, operations, and bank details, you can visit their website at https://www.mit-herz-und-hand.de/. The foundation's 20th anniversary will be celebrated on July 5th at the youth facility "Offene Tür", Leichlinger Straße.
The foundation continues to strive to make a difference in the lives of those in need within its community, looking out for one another and providing help where it's needed.
The foundation, extended by local volunteers and the board, offers aid beyond food, also providing 80 coffee and tea packages during their 20th anniversary. Residents can find various assistance in their lifestyle, including food-and-drink and home-and-garden needs, offered by the foundation and the food distribution center, located at Burscheider Straße 24.
