From Wikipedia:
The
Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes
(
English
:
Winter Relief of the German People
), commonly known by its abbreviated form
Winterhilfswerk
(
WHW
), was an annual donation drive by the
National Socialist People's Welfare
(
German
:
Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt
) to help finance charitable work. Initially an emergency measure to support people during the great depression, it went on to become a major source of funding for the activities of the NSV and a major component of Germany's welfare state. Donations to the WHW, which were voluntary in name but
de facto
required of German citizens, supplanted tax-funded welfare institutions and freed up money for rearmament.

Furthermore, it had the propagandistic role of publicly staging the solidarity of the "
Volksgemeinschaft
".
