Doing good together - ‘Round up, please.’ initiative exceeds the two million euro mark
The ‘Aufrunder bewirken Wunder’ donation initiative launched by Caritas and REWE Group (BILLA, PENNY, BIPA) has exceeded the impressive mark of 2 million euros in total donations and once again recorded a significant increase in rounding up last year. Every cent rounded up goes directly to aid projects for people in need in Austria, including mother and child homes, families in need and organisations for elderly people in need of care.
