Under the patronage of Xenia Princess of Saxony, a festive event will be held at the Berlin City Mission's center at the zoo, offering warmth, community, and dignity to people without shelter.
In addition to delicious food, tempting treats, and a wonderful gift-giving ceremony, guests can also look forward to a varied cultural program:
Opera singer Lattilia Baroness von Ledersteger, musical performer Raliza van Oijen, and dancer Jenny Günay will take to the stage. And always among the guests: the “gentleman of charity” Dieter Padar.
Around 120 people enjoy an afternoon full of warmth with a lovingly prepared buffet, sweet treats, a personal gift-giving ceremony, and a cultural program of the highest standard. For many, it is one of the rare days of the year when the focus is not on homelessness, but on joy, closeness, and human connection.
