DRK-Kreisverband Viersen e.V.

What DRK-Kreisverband Viersen e.V. does

DRK-Kreisverband Viersen e.V. is a registered charitable non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) and local chapter of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross), headquartered at Hofstraße 52 in Viersen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Founded in 1949 and registered with Amtsgericht Mönchengladbach under VR 3330, the organization operates under the umbrella of DRK-Landesverband Nordrhein e.V. and the national DRK federation. It delivers a multi-line portfolio of social, humanitarian, and emergency services across the Kreis Viersen district, serving seniors, families and children, the general public, and people in need.

The organization's core service lines include: (1) Senior care — Ambulante Pflege (home nursing), Hausnotruf (emergency call system), three Tagespflegehäuser (day care houses in Brüggen-Bracht, Willich-Neersen, Willich), Seniorenreisen, Begegnungsstätten, and the Generationentreff Kaldenkirchen; (2) Child and family services — 15 Kindertageseinrichtungen across the district, Offene Ganztagsschulen (after-school care), Kindergroßtagespflege, and Familienbildung; (3) Emergency response and population protection — Rettungsdienst via Rettungswache Willich, 8 Bereitschaften and 4 Einsatzeinheiten for civil protection, and Blutspende in coordination with DRK-Blutspendedienst West; (4) Training — Rotkreuzkurs Erste Hilfe, Erste-Hilfe im Betrieb, Brandschutz- und Evakuierungshelfer Kurse; (5) Humanitarian support — Suchdienst (tracing), Migration und Integration, Existenzsichernde Hilfe, and Kleidercontainer. The underlying technology stack consists of standard nonprofit management systems: HiOrg-Server for course registration, BITE for e-recruiting, Matomo for cookie-free web analytics, and ReadSpeaker for accessibility.

Revenue derives from a mix of public-sector contracts (notably Rettungsdienst and Kita co-financing), Pflegekassen reimbursements for care services, course fees for first-aid and safety training, membership dues, donations, and proceeds from Kleidercontainer operations. The stated headcount of 12 reflects administrative staff at headquarters only; operational delivery is supported by a substantially larger paid workforce across care, nursery, and emergency services, alongside a large volunteer base integrated through the DRK federation. Governance rests with a volunteer Vorstand (Chair: Thomas Goßen; District Manager: Detlef Blank; Treasurer: Wolfgang Holthausen) plus departmental heads overseeing social work, emergency preparedness, youth (Jugendrotkreuz), service center, and public-relations functions.
