A sign against child poverty
The Wish Tree campaign is more than just a gift; It also represents a symbol against child poverty. According to [aktion-wunschbaum.de](https://aktion-wunschbaum.de/projekt-wunschbaum/fragen- Answeren), children and young people from low-income families in particular receive gifts. The idea of helping those in need arose in the youth council and illustrates how important it is to be active within local initiatives and to provide help.
The desires are not just limited to material things; Often these are requests that are not financially affordable, such as riding lessons, bicycles or certain items of clothing. Support for this campaign can also take the form of monetary donations. These are used to fulfill a variety of wishes, which brings great joy to the children and young people.
Verbs and deadlines
The aforementioned wrapping campaign on December 15th also offers the opportunity to actively participate in the initiative and establish a personal connection to the gifts. The association will hand over the presents to the families in good time before Christmas Eve. Further information about the wishing tree campaign is available on the association's website to enable citizens to easily participate and support the campaign.
There are numerous opportunities for interested citizens to make a positive contribution and give children in need a little joy. The Christmas season offers the perfect opportunity to act in solidarity and give something back.
