SIEGENIA is donating 20,000 Euro for people in need

Generous continuation of the tradition of donation

The support for people in difficult life situations is a tradition at SIEGENIA: for many years now the company has foregone sending Christmas presents to its partners, instead devoting itself to the support of charitable organisations. Both organisations local to the German company sites and supra-regional institutions benefit. This year SIEGENIA is contributing, in the face of the rising living costs, with a renewed increase in the amount it donates with a total sum of 20,000 Euro for people in need.

Given with heart to seven charitable organisations

As in recent years, the donations from SIEGENIA will go to regional food banks in order to provide people in difficult life situations with a free supply of foodstuffs. To this end, the "Siegen food bank" will receive 3,300 Euro this year, while the "food bank Hermeskeil e.V." and the "Velbert food bank" of the "Diakonisches Werk" in the church district of Niederberg will be delighted to receive a Christmas donation of 2,200 Euro each.

Moreover, SIEGENIA is expressing its commitment to the region with their consideration of three further regional donation recipients. The Balthasar Children and Young Adult's Hospice in Olpe will use the contribution of 3,300 Euro for the care of terminally ill children, adolescents and young people as well as for support for their families. The Marien Hospice Louise von Marillac in Wilnsdorf and the district branch Siegen-Wittgenstein of the association "Lebenshilfe für Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung e. V. Siegen" will each receive 3,000 Euro. While the Marien Hospice will use the money donated to make the terminal phase of life as pleasant as possible for severely ill and dying people, the association "Lebenshilfe" will use the amount donated to expand their support of people with mental disabilities and their relatives. At a supra-regional level, SIEGENIA is again supporting the work of the organisation "Doctors without borders e.V.". The organisation will use the donation of 3,000 Euro for emergency medical aid in crisis areas and war zones.
