The volunteers in the municipality of Quierschied perform exemplary and indispensable work in many areas through their voluntary, selfless, and unpaid commitment. This forms the basis for cohesion and peaceful coexistence in our society. The range of volunteers in Quierschied, Fischbach-Camphausen, and Göttelborn extends from "traditional" club work in sports and culture to social engagement, environmental protection, and the preservation of customs, as well as fire and disaster protection or emergency services. Voluntary work is often taken for granted, and those who get involved receive far too little appreciation as a result. This is also why many clubs and organizations have been struggling with a decline in volunteering for years. The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated this trend further.
Since 2019, the municipality of Quierschied has actively and decisively opposed this trend: With the annual awarding of the municipality's volunteer award, it sends a strong signal to everyone who dedicates their free time to helping and engaging with others.
All citizens are once again invited to nominate individuals who are eligible for the award of the Volunteer Award of the municipality of Quierschied. Nominations, including reasons, can be submitted in writing by email (mail@quierschied.de) or by post (Rathausplatz 1, 66287 Quierschied) to the municipal administration by July 31, 2022.
