About this project
Ausweg Rhein-Neckar e.V. from Ausweg Rhein-Neckar e.V. is responsible for this project
Ausweg Rhein Neckar e.V. is committed to fighting poverty and classism. The focus of our work is Mannheim's Neckarstadt-West, where we live and work. The neighborhood has a very diverse population. Many of our neighbors are affected by poverty and because of this, they experience discrimination. Our founders and volunteers have lived this experience.
Offering help in emergencies is an important part of our work. Our open consultation hours take place regularly
- Mon 13-16, Tue 10-13, Thu 14-17 und Fri 15-18 Uhr at Zeppelinstr. 47, 68169 Mannheim
- mobile once a week - we go to public places where people need support
We offer support in all kinds of emergency situations, e.g:
- impending loss of housing
- job search
- search for housing
- issues with financial aid, such as Bürgergeld, Kindergeld, Wohngeld etc.
- Communication with authorities
- financial troubles (we offer information about public aid programs and help with applictions)
- Consumer protection, contracts
In 2024, we have already provided help to more than 400 people.
On average, a consultation would cost €26 (salaries, offices, materials, etc.). Thanks to the work of our volunteers, our support is of course free of charge for our clients.
Nevertheless, this service incurs costs for Ausweg Rhein Neckar e.V., e.g:
- office supplies - printing, copying or sending documents on behalf of clients (printer cartridges, paper, envelopes, stamps, etc.)
- free drinks for clients during consultation
- Cell phone costs for 2 service cell phones so that people can reach us and we can make calls during consultation hours
- Hosting of our email accounts for external communication
- Preparation and follow-up work by our full-time employees, e.g. administration, submitting funding applications, public relations work, communications
With a donation of just €26, you can finance a free consultation and support people and families in need.
Please note: Our emergency counseling is not legal advice. It offers a low-threshold point of contact and practical support for many issues. In some cases, we have to refer people seeking advice to other public aid offices.
