Donations generously increased to 22,100 euros

SIEGENIA has a long tradition of supporting people in difficult circumstances. In order to be able to contribute as much as possible to charitable causes, the company does not send Christmas gifts to its partners, for example, choosing instead to donate the money earmarked for this purpose to its charitable work. The company is particularly keen to support local organisations based near its German sites. It also regularly supports other institutions further afield. This year, SIEGENIA is once again generously boosting its commitment to helping those in need with donations totalling 22,100 euros. 

Seven local organisations supported

Driven by a sense of conviction, the company embraces its responsibility towards the regions that have always been a source of its strength. As a result, SIEGENIA is particularly passionate about helping people experiencing hardship by donating to local food banks. This year, the company is increasing its donations to allow local food banks to distribute free food: the Siegen Food Bank (Siegener Tafel) will receive 3,500 euros, while the Hermeskeil Food Bank (Tafel Hermeskeil e.V.) and the Velbert Food Bank (Velberter Tafel), run by the Niederberg parish charitable organisation Diakonisches Werk, will each get a Christmas donation of 2,500 euros. 

SIEGENIA has also chosen five other local causes to support. The Balthasar Children's and Young Adults' Hospice in Olpe will use the donation of 3,500 euros to provide care for terminally ill children, adolescents and young adults and to support their families. In addition, the Louise von Marillac MARIEN hospice in Wilnsdorf, which has eight inpatient places, and the Hochwald outpatient hospice near SIEGENIA's Hermeskeil site, will each receive 3,000 euros. These two organisations have dedicated themselves to providing relief for those with critical and terminal illnesses and their loved ones and to offering them psychological and practical support. For the first time, SIEGENIA is also making a Christmas donation to SkF Siegen e. V., which offers advice and support to those struggling with a wide range of difficult circumstances, providing them with vital assistance. The programme of support offered by SkF, which will receive 1,000 euros from SIEGENIA, is tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of those seeking help. 

National and international commitment expanded

SIEGENIA also supports charitable projects and organisations further afield with its donations. The German Rescue Dog Association will use the donation of 1,000 euros to help maintain its 94 rescue dog teams across Germany, which provide valuable services around the clock, saving lives in disasters and emergencies both at home and abroad. In addition, SIEGENIA is once again supporting the work of Doctors Without Borders. The organisation will use the donation of 2,100 euros to provide emergency medical aid in crisis-hit regions and war zones.
