Thank you to over 5,000 volunteers in the Nuremberg region!
The valuable work of over 5,000 volunteers in the Nuremberg region was honored today in a festive atmosphere in the Karl-Diehl-Halle. District Administrator Armin Kroder took the time to thank these committed citizens for their tireless commitment to sport, culture, social activities and disaster prevention. This voluntary work supports cohesion in our society and deserves the highest recognition. N-land.de reports that Kroder placed a clear focus on the importance of volunteering and highlighted the positive impact it has on the community.
But the focus wasn't just on the existing volunteers: at least as important was the official welcome to the new citizens who acquired German citizenship last year. These people received a small gift to congratulate them on becoming citizens, which underlines the welcoming culture in the region.
Volunteer cards and discounts
Another highlight was the honoring of the over 5,000 people in the district who have a Bavarian volunteer card. This card brings numerous advantages: Volunteers can take advantage of discounts from around 6,000 acceptance partners across Bavaria, of which around 100 partners are based in the Nuremberg region. This shows how important volunteering is for local companies and how much they want to support them.
Rainer Dintenfelder from Sparkasse Nürnberg represented the community of supporters and expressed his support in the form of 5,000 euros for the event. The Sparkasse has been actively committed to supporting volunteers since the introduction of the volunteer card twelve years ago and thus plays an important role in the regional economic and social landscape.
The event was perceived not only as a celebration of volunteers, but also as an important meeting place to promote cooperation among citizens. In times when community and support are needed more than ever, it has once again become clear that recognizing volunteer work is essential to maintaining people's motivation.
The emotional speeches and the warm encounters of those present made it clear: volunteering is not a marginal phenomenon, but rather the heart of our society. As passionately as the volunteers work, they also need to be valued by the community. Everyone can make a difference in small ways, and here in the Nuremberg region this is clearly visible.
