Key Facts

  • No one should spend Christmas alone on December 24, 2024, in Zurich!
    Caritas Zurich has been organizing a Christmas celebration for over 90 years for people affected by poverty and loneliness who want to escape isolation on Christmas Eve or who don’t have enough money to celebrate Christmas on their own. This event allows them to sing familiar songs, enjoy a nice meal, or chat with someone in a warm and friendly environment.

    Around 250 guests, including many children, are expected at the Volkshaus Zurich. This Christmas celebration is made possible through donations and the dedicated work of more than 50 volunteers.
This year, the Caritas Christmas celebration is financially supported by Life Science Cares Switzerland along with other corporate partners.
