The net proceeds go entirely to the Ö3 Christmas miracle, which is collecting donations for the Licht ins Dunkel emergency aid fund for the tenth time this year to help families in need in Austria. The biscuits were lovingly made by hand by apprentice confectioners with the support of Eva-Maria Kaiser, Managing Director of the BILLA bakery and confectionery shop.
Marcel Haraszti, CEO of REWE International AG: ‘With this special sales campaign in the run-up to Christmas, we are sending an important signal of charity together with our customers. The Ö3 Christmas miracle connects Austria and as one of the country's largest food retailers, we are also doing our part to strengthen this connection. I am delighted that our apprentices were so committed to the production of the handmade biscuits.’
Harald Mießner, BILLA Board Member for Sales: ‘For us, it is a matter close to our hearts to help where support is urgently needed in the spirit of social interaction. Especially at Christmas time, we want to provide further added value for our society with the sales campaign for handmade biscuits. I am sure that our customers will not only be delighted with the biscuits, but also with the associated fundraising campaign for the Ö3 Christmas miracle.’
With the support of Eva-Maria Kaiser, Managing Director of the BILLA bakery and confectionery shop, four apprentice confectioners baked hundreds of kilograms of Christmas biscuits for the fundraising campaign. When it came to choosing the type of biscuits, the decision was quickly made in favour of the popular butter shortcrust biscuits. The classic biscuits are sustainably packaged in jars and available from 15 November in 29 selected BILLA PLUS locations in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland - while stocks last - for 3.99 euros.
