"Winterhilfswerk
des Deutschen Volkes (English:Winter Relief of the German
People), commonly known by its abbreviated form Winterhilfswerk (WHW), was an annual
drive by the National Socialist People's Welfare (German:Nationalsozialistische
Volkswohlfahrt) to help finance charitable work. Its slogan was "None
shall starve or freeze". It ran from
1933–1945 during the months of October through March and was designed to
provide food, clothing, coal and other items to less fortunate Germans during
the inclement months."
