The Glücksbote is an independent and charitable organisation based in Lower Austria that supports socially/financially disadvantaged families living in Austria.
Families from a socially/financially disadvantaged background often find it difficult to make ends meet. Special occasions such as birthdays, Easter, St Nicholas, Christmas or the start of school require additional financial outlay that is not available. However, celebrating rituals and festivals is very important for families and especially for children. They provide security, orientation, a sense of security and moments of happiness that they can remember for a long time.
Here the "Glücksbote" provides support and collects donations in kind, cash donations and vouchers.
