Proceeds from the Sale of Water

One of Our Commitments to a Good Cause

The entire proceeds from the sale of our mountain spring water are donated to Pro Juventute – Children's and Youth Aid Austria.

In addition, you can look forward to our regular charity events, such as the popular Pre-Xmas Party, which takes place every year on the Saturday before Christmas. On this special evening, we support the initiative "Licht ins Dunkel" as part of the Ö3 Christmas Miracle.

Together, we’re making a difference—one step at a time.

Our kitchen finds a New home at the children's home

Our Acherl Kitchen Finds a New Home at the Children's Home

Our Acherl restaurant kitchen was still in excellent condition—everything worked perfectly and looked inviting. As we all know, the cost of such a kitchen is high, and a children’s home in Ukraine could never afford this kind of equipment, even though it is desperately needed as they provide a new home for more and more children every day.

That’s why we decided not to sell the kitchen but to donate it to the children's home in Rath. In collaboration with Saskia, who runs a foundation dedicated to Ukraine aid, we organized everything needed. Through her incredible network, amazing people stepped in to handle the transport and dismantling of the kitchen.

In addition, we were able to include all of our cherry wood furniture (chairs and tables) in the shipment. We also packed essential food supplies such as flour and other pantry staples for the children. To add an extra touch of joy upon their arrival, we included some sweet treats as well.

Together, we’re creating hope and support—one kitchen, one meal, one smile at a time.
