For more than 20 years, the “Help Ukraine Breitscheid St. Lawrence Community e.V.” and ist   head - Professor Dr. h.c. Heinrich Benner have been working successfully with the partner city Brody in the Lviv region and the community leader Anatolii Beley. Since then, many important social projects have been implemented, such as the operation of a charitable soup kitchen for the needy, the restoration of the infrastructure and grounds of the castle park in Brody, the purchase of waste garbage cans, the delivery of a waste compactor and much more. At the end of 2024, the municipality of Brody again received a valuable delivery from the German partners, namely more than 500 New Year's gifts for children of war veterans, children of fallen soldiers, low-income and large families and internally displaced persons. Some of the gifts were also distributed in the charitable “St. Lawrence canteen”, where more than 50 children in the above-mentioned categories and more than 100 needy adults are fed and receive their hot meals every day. In addition, the German community regularly provides the community of Brody and the city with the necessary medical equipment, medicines, emergency generators, food, clothing and equipment for fire and rescue teams. About 15% of these shipments are regularly transferred to the units of our defenders to ensure a safe route for the delivery of our goods to the hottest spots on the frontline. Further new projects in the community of Brody are planned and developed for the new year 2025.
