Here are a few thoughtful and meaningful ways you can support people in need in Denmark:
- Mødrehjælpen (Mother’s Help) More than 47,000 children live in poverty in Denmark, and Christmas can be a painful time for them. A season that should be filled with joy often brings anxiety, disappointment, and heartache. By supporting Mødrehjælpen’s Christmas Aid, you can help bring comfort and hope to both children and parents – and make Christmas a time to look forward to. Learn more: moedrehjaelpen.dk/jul
- Røde Kors (Red Cross) The Danish Red Cross helps vulnerable families with children celebrate Christmas with dignity. For many, the holiday brings stress rather than joy, with no money for gifts, food, or even a Christmas tree. Your support helps make sure no child feels left out during the holidays.

- Red Barnet (Save the Children) Christmas highlights the daily struggles of children living in poverty. Many lack essentials like warm winter boots or a simple gift under the tree. With over 47,000 children in poverty in Denmark, every contribution makes a real difference. Learn more: webshop.redbarnet.dk
