In the spirit of neighbourly help, Hermann Weiß, BILLA Head of Sales, handed over a package filled with Playmobil play figures to the St. Elisabeth Foundation of the Archdiocese of Vienna at the BILLA store in Stolberggasse 42 in Vienna's 5th district. The figures will hopefully bring a little joy to children in the mother-child homes in Arbeitergasse (5th district), Flurschützstraße (12th district) and Leopold-Böhm-Straße (3rd district). 

"Good neighbours help each other and stick together - we at BILLA don't exclude ourselves from that."

"Good neighbours help each other and stick together - we at BILLA do not exclude ourselves from this. We hope that with the Playmobil figures we can put a smile on the faces of the children in the residential homes of the St. Elisabeth Foundation, one of which is barely 10 minutes away from our BILLA location in Stolberggasse," says Hermann Weiß. 

"We are therefore delighted that thanks to the Playmobil figures many colourful playmates for our children are moving into their homes today."

Nicole Meissner Managing Director of the St. Elisabeth Foundation

The Mother and Child Homes of the St. Elisabeth Foundation are the first port of call for women and children who find themselves in difficult phases of life and are in need of professional assistance. Homelessness is only one aspect in which the foundation provides counselling. Nicole Meissner, Managing Director of the St. Elisabeth Foundation, accepted the donation from BILLA: "Donations of every kind for young and old are very welcome, not only on Mother's Day - which is our biggest fundraiser of the year - and toys are of course always a particularly nice surprise. We are therefore delighted that thanks to the Playmobil figures many colourful playmates for our children are moving into their homes today."
