Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee Delivers 'Warm Winter Kits' to Disabled and Elderly Living Alone

About 30 Employees Gathered to Assemble 150 Kit Sets

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced on the 23rd that it conducted an employee volunteer activity to create "Warm Winter Kits" for people with disabilities and elderly living alone in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.

This activity was organized as part of the "Together Healthier with Mercedes-Benz" campaign to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. Volunteers from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Korea and Mercedes-Benz Mobility Korea participated. More than 30 employee volunteers, including Hilke Jansen, Vice Chairperson of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Korea, gathered in the conference room at the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Korea headquarters located in Seoul Square Building, Jung-gu, Seoul, to assemble 150 Warm Winter Kits.

The winter kits were composed of gloves, scarves, and message cards to help recipients stay warm during the cold winter. The employee volunteers personally stenciled the logo on each of the 150 pairs of gloves and scarves, and handwrote the message cards. Following COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, the 150 packaged kits will be delivered in a non-face-to-face donation format to people with disabilities and elderly living alone who use the Geumcheon Disabled Welfare Center through the social welfare organization Children and Future Foundation.

Vice Chairperson Hilke Jansen said, "As the COVID-19 situation continues, local communities have been facing prolonged difficulties, making the importance of sharing and coexistence more significant than ever. We will continue to plan meaningful social contribution activities that create a better world together and provide ongoing support for local communities."

Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz Financial Korea and Mercedes-Benz Mobility Korea have maintained a partnership with the Geumcheon Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center for two consecutive years. In October last year, they conducted volunteer activities to improve the living environment for families with disabilities in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu. The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee raised a total of 1.8 billion KRW in donations by setting aside 100,000 KRW per vehicle sold from March to May this year to help overcome COVID-19.
