Spende von Irene Hünnerkopf an Mix for Kids

In late September, Irene Hünnerkopf from Untersambach, Germany, celebrated her 75th birthday with family and friends. Her loved ones bowed to her request and did not bring any gifts. Instead, the retired teacher asked them to donate money to social causes. 700 euros were collected and donated in equal shares to the Wiesentheid Neighborhood Aid and Mix for Kids.

“It’s a small contribution to a good cause,” said Irene Hünnerkopf as she handed over the donation to Gertraud Mix, who sits on the Mix for Kids board. “I like the fact that this charity invests in children and does not use any of the donations for administrative expenses.” As chair of the Neighborhood Aid, she also volunteers her time to support residents of nursing homes as well as immigrant children in the Wiesentheid area.
