SIEGENIA is committed to helping people in need
19,000 Euro donated to regional and national charitable organisations
The support of people in difficult life situations is a tradition in the SIEGENIA GROUP. Hence, the company has dispensed with sending Christmas presents to its business partners for many years now and has instead donated for charitable purposes. Organisations local to the German company sites are particularly close to their hearts, but supra-regional institutions are also regularly taken into consideration. SIEGENIA is committed once again this year and is donating a total amount of 19,000 Euro for charitable purposes.
Seven charitable organisations supported
As in previous years, the "Siegen Foodbank", the "Hermeskeil Foodbank e.V." and the "Velbert Foodbank" of the "Diakonisches Werk" (German Evangelical Church charity) in the parish of Niederberg will receive a Christmas donation – the "Siegen Foodbank" will receive 3,000 Euro and the two charitable organisations in Hermeskeil and Velbert will receive 2,000 Euro each. The financial contributions will contribute to ensuring that people in difficult life situations can be provided with food free of charge. The food banks will also be given any Christmas presents received by the SIEGENIA GROUP.
Moreover, SIEGENIA has selected three additional regional donation recipients. They will receive 3,000 Euro each. The Balthasar Children and Young Adult's Hospice in Olpe will use the contribution for the care of terminally ill children, adolescents and young people as well as for support for their families. The fundraising association "Förderverein Hospiz Siegerland e.V." will use the donation to provide palliative aid to severely and terminally ill persons during the last phase of their lives. The Siegen-Wittgenstein district branch of the association "Lebenshilfe für Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung e. V. Siegen" will use the donation to extend their support for persons with mental health disabilities and their families. At a supra-regional level, the "Doctors without Borders" association will receive 3,000 Euro for emergency medical aid in crisis areas and war zones.
