About the volunteering opportunity

With the "Pinselpost" campaign, we would like to bring variety, colour and joy into the everyday life of care facilities. We want the residents to know they are not alone.

Your Tasks

Whether you paint or do handicrafts, write little letters and poems - there are no limits to your creativity. Ink or colored pencil drawings, decorative handicrafts, window pictures, action painting, spring photos, poems or thoughts... Everyone can make, write or paint something what people in need of care are happy about.

Then simply put the artwork in an envelope and send it to one of the participating care institutions or bring it by. The addresses of our facilities are listed here.

Thanks in advance for the support!
