Community support initiatives launch in Germany

Various community support initiatives are launching in Germany. The ‘Scheine für Vereine’ campaign will run from September 7 to October 11, 2026. During this period, customers shopping at participating REWE, nahkauf, and ZooRoyal markets, as well as toom hardware stores, can receive vouchers to support sports clubs. For every €15 spent at REWE or €30 spent at toom, customers receive a voucher with a QR code that can be assigned to a chosen club via the REWE app or website.

In Quickborn, the ‘Ein Teil mehr’ initiative, a collaboration between the Lions Club Quickborn and Edeka Gehrke, will take place on September 5, 2026. This event aims to support the CARICafé, a project run by the Catholic Parish of the Holy Martin and Caritas Quickborn. The café serves as a low-threshold meeting point for the community, offering free coffee, cake, and assistance to those in need. The project relies entirely on donations to fund its operations and the distribution of food and hygiene supplies.
