Markus Geyer, Managing Director of BIPA: ‘We are delighted to be able to send sweet St Nicholas greetings to socially disadvantaged people with this campaign and thus bring a smile to children's faces, especially in difficult times.’ The chocolaty delivery is currently on its way to six CARITAS locations throughout Austria, where they will be distributed over the next few days.
‘Many of us take a chocolate Nicolo for granted, but we often forget that there are people who are less fortunate. We are all the more pleased that BIPA thinks of these people not only, but also at Christmas time and supports us with donations in kind and money,’ says Anna Parr, Secretary General of Caritas Austria.
Long-standing partnership
BIPA has been supporting the CARITAS Mother and Child Houses, where homeless mothers and their children find a protective roof and are supported on their new start, with various activities and donations since 2009. This year, a children's book featuring the popular BIPA reindeer Rosi is available to buy for €1.99 in all BIPA shops throughout Austria - one euro per book sold by 24 December will go to the social organisation. BIPA also donated vouchers totalling €60,000 for everyday products. ‘The long-standing partnership with CARITAS is a matter close to our hearts, and it fills us with pride to be able to make a small contribution to the Christmas joy of many people together,’ says Markus Geyer.
