After this year's Rodgau ART art exhibition, Department 8 of the City of Rodgau presented a donation of 1,607 euros to the SOS Helferkreis e.V. organisation. The sum collected is a sign of the commitment and solidarity of the participating artists. It is made up of a portion of the stand fees and individual donations from the exhibitors. Particularly noteworthy is the highest regular individual donation, which was made by an artist with Syrian roots who has lived in Rodgau since 2015. With this gesture, he would like to thank the community that welcomed and supported him so warmly at the time. The SOS Helferkreis e.V. itself was able to raise a further considerable amount of around 4,000 euros through sales in the cafeteria operated during the art exhibition. The total sum will benefit four different SOS Children's Villages. A particular focus is on an SOS Children's Village in Poland, which has recently taken in an SOS Village from Ukraine to offer refugee children and families protection and support during this difficult time. The children's villages have a variety of uses for the donations, such as play equipment, bicycles and more.
