The Weihnachtspackerlaktion is a volunteer-driven Christmas Service Project by Round Table, Ladies’ Circle, Club41, and Agora in Austria, that sends gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need in Eastern Europe (Rumania). Each year, a large convoy of trucks and volunteers delivers the parcels directly to orphanages, schools, and rural communities, bringing joy to children who rarely receive presents.

Weihnachtspackerlaktion is an Austrian German compound word.
It literally means:
Weihnachts → Christmas, Packerl → little packages / parcels, Aktion → campaign/drive
So the full meaning is: “Christmas Parcel Campaign.”
