2 x Christmas
For people living in poverty
The “2 x Christmas” campaign helps you to donate non-perishable food and hygiene items during the Christmas season. We transport your parcels free of charge to the logistics center of the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) in Wabern. Swiss Post employees and SRC volunteers sort the donations before they are distributed to people living in poverty. The “2 x Christmas” charitable campaign is conducted jointly by the Swiss Red Cross, Coop, SRG SSR, and Swiss Post.
Santa Claus campaign
Swiss Post supports Santa
Every year in the run-up to Christmas, children from all over Switzerland send their wish lists to Santa Claus. And he has his hands full answering all those letters. But he can count on help from the Swiss Post elves, who work tirelessly to send an answer to every single child. In 2023, almost 32,500 letters were answered. Would you like to send a letter? Send your letter or drawing with your address in a prepaid envelope. Address it to Santa Claus.
Postage stamp fund
Promoting cultural and social projects
By purchasing a special stamp with surcharge, you are directly supporting charitable causes. The majority of the surcharge for the Pro Juventute and Pro Patria stamps goes directly to the relevant organization. In addition, 10 percent of the surcharge goes to the postage stamp fund. The postage stamp fund supports a range of dif-ferent projects that strengthen cultural creation or support social initiatives. Even smaller contributions can have a major impact: the postage stamp fund continuously provides support for initiatives that make a valuable contribution to society and culture.
