Südtirol hilft

Südtirol hilft is a non-profit association based in Bozen, Italy working on poverty & hunger.

Südtirol hilft is a non-profit, charitable, volunteer-run association based in Bozen, South Tyrol (Italy). It helps people in financial emergency and hardship across South Tyrol, mainly by covering rent and electricity or gas bills and by distributing shopping vouchers, working alongside local social organisations such as the Vinzenzgemeinschaft, the Caritas, Lebenshilfe and the Katholischer Familienverband. Funds are raised through individual donations, corporate and media partnerships, lotteries and a wine product, and the association publishes annual reports on the donations collected and the emergency cases supported. Donors can also allocate a share of their income tax to the association, a public-benefit status recognised under the Italian Third Sector.
