Deposit Donations Instead of Throwing Away: Viennese Students Collect for Social Markets

At the Vienna HLW 19 Straßergasse, a donation bin for empty bottles and cans has been set up since yesterday. The deposit proceeds benefit the social markets of the Samaritan Association Vienna. Students and school staff are invited to forgo the return – thereby contributing to the support of people affected by poverty.

After the collection campaign ends, the Samaritan Association will take over the return of the donated containers and use the proceeds for its social markets. There, people with low incomes receive food and everyday products at significantly reduced prices.

"This campaign shows how important voluntary commitment is for social cohesion," said Susanne Drapalik, President of the Samaritan Association Vienna. It is particularly valuable when young people take responsibility and show solidarity.
