CORONA HELP

Project initiator:

Caritasverband Kinzigtal e.V., Diakonisches Werk im Evangelischen Kirchenbezirk Ortenau and Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Kreisverband Wolfach e.V.

Anybody can suddenly find themselves in need, for many different reasons. To prevent people from ending up in difficulty and slipping through the net as a result of crisis situations that are often no fault of their own, such as accidents, illness or twists of fate, Caritasverband Kinzigtal e.V. and Diakonisches Werk im Evangelischen Kirchenbezirk Ortenau offer unbureaucratic support at short notice for individual cases where there is no other (state) help.

Project description:

The consequences of the Covid-19 crisis are not only serious in terms of health and economic policy. The uncertainty for the many people who already had to make do with scarce resources or lived at the subsistence level before the Covid-19 crisis is great during the pandemic. Many are afraid that they will not be able to feed themselves and their families with the short-time allowance or that they will lose their jobs altogether. The emergency aid arranged through the NEUMAYER STIFTUNG will top up the social benefits granted.

Project aims:

The aim is to provide emergency financial assistance to people in (pre-crisis) employment subject to social security contributions to bridge or top up the benefits granted.

Project location:

Hausach and suburbs, Baden-Württemberg

Project start:

May 2020

Project target group(s):

People in a one-off emergency situation triggered by Covid-19 and through no fault of their own, who are linked to the social counselling services of the welfare associations.
