German volunteer agencies Caritas Fulda and Grafschaft Bentheim honor and recruit volunteers

Caritas Fulda organized a thank‑you outing for its volunteers who had taken part in projects such as the HOTRoom, a Christmas‑eve meal for those in need, and the HOTHair "Barber Angels" service. The event included a guided tour of the Fulda Cathedral, an ascent of the Stadtschloss tower and a group dinner, and was attended by Caritas director Dr. Markus Juch, regional manager Susanne Saradj and other church representatives.

In the neighboring district of Grafschaft Bentheim, the local volunteer agency issued a call for additional helpers. Opportunities were listed for assisting seniors with grocery shopping, working in a fair‑trade world store, supporting a repair café, and providing digital guidance at a media café. The agency also promoted a free training program for senior‑care volunteers, with contact details provided for interested participants.
