In the past, the honorary office award has awarded numerous impressive initiatives. These include, for example, the Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V. from Drensteinfurt, which organized a “mobile shopping cart” during the Corona pandemic, as well as the neighborhood aid Waltrop, which supported people in need of shopping and concerns. Such projects show how diverse the voluntary commitment in the region is.

diverse initiatives in the corona era

The need and creativity of the volunteer have been particularly evident during the Corona pandemic. Offers such as the radio format "Kwiekirche" from Recklinghausen or the livestream offer #feierwir enable people to remain spiritually connected even in difficult times. The Catholic rural youth movement, among other things, supported those affected by errands and social contacts, while several projects sew mouth-nose masks for helping togetherness.

These diverse actions reflect the spirit of the volunteer and the willingness to be there for each other. The diocese of Münster has established itself as a platform for this valuable work and promotes the visibility of the often silent heroes of everyday life.

The deadline for submitting proposals ends in a short time, and a lively participation is hoped for to duly appreciate the voluntary services in the region.
