Social commitment

Im Bereich Soziales setzen wir uns gezielt für Menschen ein, die am Rande der Gesellschaft stehen – darunter Strafgefangene, Prostituierte sowie psychisch erkrankte und suchtkranke Personen. Unser Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Raum Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg und Böblingen.
Mit unserer eigenen Förderlinie BLIZZ begleiten wir darüber hinaus soziale Organisationen in Baden-Württemberg bei Entwicklungs- und Veränderungsprozessen – damit sie Herausforderungen besser begegnen und sich für die Zukunft wirksamer aufstellen können.

Haus Arche
Haus Arche (The Ark) opened its doors in 1981 as a mixed residential and non-residential facility for former prisoners who are transitioning back into society after being released from prison. The facility offers seven studio apartments. All of the residential units are furnished and have a fully equipped kitchen. The house was acquired by the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung in 2017. The stay at Haus Arche is intended to help residents regain the ability to assume responsibility for their own lives, conscientiously manage the living units entrusted to their care, use their financial resources sensibly and cope with the problems that arise in everyday life. To ensure that they have the means to earn a living, help is made available to the residents of Haus Arche during their job search, the application process and while preparing for job interviews.
eva’s Tisch
The people who come to eva’s Tisch are people who do not have enough money to live on or who have no place to live. And what all of these people who live on the fringes of society find out when they come here: just how important they are. No one who wants to eat here has to show proof of their financial situation. All are welcome to come and just be themselves. Located at the center of Stuttgart, eva’s Tisch has many patrons. It is run by the Evangelische Gesellschaft Stuttgart, a social welfare organization of the Protestant church.
