The symbolic donation check was presented to Günther Simader of ADRA Austria by the two BILLA sales managers Bernhard Kreuzer and Thomas Wendt in Hof near Salzburg. ADRA Austria offers a total of 30 children who have fled Ukraine the opportunity to leave behind the stressful situation in their home country for a short time in the community with numerous activities in the two-week summer camp.

"I am very pleased that BILLA supports our Salzburg summer camp. In this way, we enable the children to spend relaxing days in nature, far away from the war and horrors in their home country," explains Marcel Wagner, Managing Director of ADRA Austria. BILLA Sales Manager Thomas Wendt is also pleased about the cooperation: "Since we first heard about the project, it was immediately clear to us that we would support it." His colleague Bernhard Kreuzer adds: "I am pleased that we could make a contribution to make this summer camp possible. A big thank you also goes to ADRA Austria for the outstanding organization and implementation."
