The recipients are chosen through a personal and democratic process: our employees submit suggestions, from which the winning projects are drawn. This year, we are proud to support two organizations that foster community and hope in very different ways.<\/h4>\n<h3>Backesfreunde Manderbach e.V. \u2013 Tradition meets future<\/h3>\n<h4>Part of our donation goes to &#8220;Backesfreunde Manderbach e.V.&#8221; located in Dillenburg-Manderbach and founded in January 2025. This association and its 60 members have set an ambitious goal. Under the project title &#8220;Backes 2.0,&#8221; they aim to restore the historic bakehouse at Rathausstra\u00dfe 1. Their mission extends beyond preserving customs; they are creating a vibrant meeting place for all generations to strengthen the village community.<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/backesfreunde-manderbach.de\/\">https:\/\/backesfreunde-manderbach.de<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Elternverein f\u00fcr leuk\u00e4mie- und krebskranke Kinder Gie\u00dfen e.V. \u2013 Suppport that makes a difference<\/h3>\n<h4>The second part of our donation supports the Parents&#8217; Association in Giessen, which has been standing by families of children suffering from leukemia and cancer for over 40 years. The association funds vital projects that go beyond basic medical care to make the environment on &#8220;Station Peiper&#8221; at university hospital Gie\u00dfen and Marburg as comfortable as possible for young cancer patients. This includes furnishing playrooms and parents&#8217; kitchens as well as innovative initiatives like the &#8220;AV1 School Avatars&#8221;. These small robots allow children to attend school virtually from their hospital beds, ensuring they stay connected with their friends. Furthermore, the association actively funds clinical research at the Justus-Liebig-University to continuously improve the chances of recovery and cure for childhood cancer.<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.krebskrankekinder-giessen.de\/\">https:\/\/www.krebskrankekinder-giessen.de<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;46714,46712&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; autoplay=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;back to news&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#afca0b&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#122941&#8243; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-arrow-left&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709884148534{background-color: #afca0b !important;}&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.afb-gmbh.de%2Fen%2Fnews%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row expanded=&#8221;2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1714120392999{margin-top: 30px !important;background-color: #f4f3f3 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568202863369{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>AFB Anlagen- und Filterbau GmbH &amp; Co.
