Palmers supports Johanniter with Christmas campaign Palmers coins for rescue teams and aid packages for families in need Palmers CEO Janis Jung and Director Marketing & Communications Barbara Bleier-Serentschy supported the Johanniter in their annual Christmas trucker campaign and helped to pack food and basic supplies for families affected by poverty. Once again this year, the aid packages will be delivered directly to the families between Christmas and New Year in a Johanniter lorry - the ‘Christmas Trucker’. Together with Doris Schmidauer, wife of Federal President Alexander van der Bellen, Rapid Managing Director Steffen Hofmann, coach of the Rapid women's team Katja Gürtler, SPAR Regional Director Renate Rödig and U18 players from the Spusu Vienna Capitals, 100 parcels were packed in a very short space of time. Palmers extended a special thank you to the rescue workers: CEO Janis Jung handed over 400 Palmers coin packets totalling €8,000. St John Ambulance does a great job all year round! It is important to us both to support people affected by poverty through the Christmas trucker campaign and to thank the rescue workers for their tireless efforts. With the Palmers coin packets, we would like to send a small token of appreciation,’ explained Janis Jung. Petra Grell-Kunzinger, Federal Managing Director of Johanniter, was delighted with the support: ‘We would like to thank Palmers for the coin donation to our rescue teams and all the helpers who work with us to make the Christmas Trucker campaign possible and help families affected by poverty to celebrate a wonderful Christmas!’ Photos may be reproduced free of charge, subject to attribution.
