The Swiss worker's aid (Arbeiterhilfswerk)This organization had the patronage over the largest home of the City of Vienna, namely the children's hostile in castle Wilheminenberg. This became possible through the provision of furniture, textiles, etc. by "Swiss Donation (Schweizer Spende)". The "Swiss Donation (Schweizer Spende)" sent in the first months of operation 50.000 kg foods. About 250 children were provisioned for their 6-week stay in the children's hostile and received foods with daily 2.500 calories, whereby more than a quarter was from "Swiss Donation (Schweizer Spende)". The hostile fed children before school-age between 3 and 6 years, in winter-months also school-age children, who were educated. 1.021 children were helped. The Swiss worker's aid (Arbeiterhilfswerk) stood in contact with the socialist Worker men's aid Vienna (Arbeiterhilfe Wien). Worth mentioning is still the so-called standard - package, which contained foods with total weight of 6 kg. Until end 1946 21.687 packages were distributed in Vienna.
