VfL Osnabrück donates deposit

Partnerschaft mit dem VfL Osnabrück für eine nachhaltige Zukunft!

We have some sporting news to announce! We are delighted to announce further support for our mission: At the two home games against Hannover 96 and Fortuna Düsseldorf, all soccer fans in the VfL Osnabrück stadium can donate the deposit from their reusable cups. The sum will go directly to our charitable organization “Mission to Marsh”!

In this way, we are protecting the peatland, which is located right outside the gates of Osnabrück in the northern district: The Venner Moor! It is one of the last remnants of the Great Moor, which once stretched from Damme almost as far as the Wiehengebirge. We have been involved here since last year and are actively campaigning for renaturation. We are grateful for the partnership with VfL and look forward to further joint activities.

🎉 Update 🎉 A total of €2,169 was donated at the stadium on Saturday. This will enable us to restore around 200 square meters of peatland in the Osnabrück area
