Award of Volunteer's Medal to Erika Jensch
In the vibrant city of Düsseldorf, Erika Jensch has been a dedicated volunteer for over three decades, primarily associated with two organisations: the "Bread for the Day" project and the Oberbilk Citizens' Association.
The "Bread for the Day" project, which Erika co-founded in 1999 within the St. Josef community in Oberbilk, is a community-driven initiative aimed at providing daily aid to those in need. Approximately 170 households benefit from this project, with distribution days taking place twice a week.
Erika's role in the project is multifaceted. She is responsible for organising annual receptions, street festivals, and the St. Martin's procession in the Oberbilk Citizens' Association. Moreover, she contributes significantly to the preparation and follow-up of distribution days. Since taking over the project's leadership in 2002, Erika has shown an intense commitment that has led to an increase in employees and volunteers in recent years.
Erika's dedication has not gone unnoticed. In 20XX, she was awarded the Martinstaler prize from the city of Düsseldorf in recognition of her outstanding voluntary commitment.
During distribution days, Erika serves as a reliable point of contact, approaching people openly and offering support and motivation to the volunteer helpers. Her day often starts early in the morning, as she prepares the facilities, cleans them, and receives the boxes of food for distribution.
The "Bread for the Day" project was launched in response to the challenging social situation in Oberbilk and the daily aid requests that the community faced. Erika's work continues to make a significant difference in the lives of many, contributing to a more compassionate and supportive community in Oberbilk.

Her frequent posts about local events, such as entertainment programs and community projects, reflect her continuous engagement in making Düsseldorf a vibrant and compassionate city.
