Independent social service organizations are particularly hard-hit by economic downturns, as they are only able to make limited financial provisions.

A \u201cpickup service\u201d organized by the graduating seniors ensured that all the empty bottles and crates were collected from the doors of the boarding school students\u2019 private rooms and apartments over the course of two weeks.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Overwhelming Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20712 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-scaled.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-24x18.jpg 24w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-36x27.jpg 36w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/IMG-20200519-WA0054-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/>Since all the students, the entire teaching staff, and the boarding school as an institution were happy to respond to the call for donations and participated in this wonderful initiative in an exemplary manner, the graduating seniors were able to collect so many empty bottles and cans over the course of two weeks that transporting them required the use of a bus and an additional car. After more than an hour of redeeming the bottles, it was finally clear that the initiative had raised more than 300 \u20ac for the donation fund, which was subsequently donated to \u201cFrauen helfen Frauen e.V.\u201d and the Counseling and Intervention Center Against Domestic Violence.
