OUR CHARITY WORK

At HIWC, we are passionate about making a difference in our own lives and in the lives of others.
That's why giving back to our communities, both locally and around the world, is an important part of what we do at the club.
We are a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for our members to volunteer and donate their time and resources to worthy causes.

Cooking Together

This monthly activity, led by Juliah, takes place at the Caritas refugee centre in Heidelberg-Kirchheim. Due to lack of space, we could only accommodate 3-4 volunteers.

Fundraising Events

We raise funds in a number of ways, including by taking part in the annual Lebendiger Neckar event, having a stand at the Christmas Advent market, and organizing a charity buffet.

Homemade Items

We have these items for sale: upcycle jeans handbags, jam, reusable make-up pads, homeblend spices, shopping bags, beeswax wrappers, tea towels, pin cushion etc.
We have been making and donating these special heart pillows to breast cancer patients at the NCT (National Centre for Tumour Diseases) in Heidelberg for the past 3 years.

FUNDING DISTRIBUTION

Most of the funds will go towards the current Awesome Blossoms project and the remainder will be used to purchase materials for the Heart Pillows and as a source of income alongside membership fees to fund special member events.
