Delivering 100 dinners to a Polish hospital

MSWiA, the biggest hospital in Warsaw, was selected by the government as the main hospital to handle COVID-19 cases. Consequently, a part of the hospital's wards transformed into infectious disease wards. The doctors and nurses were so busy that the hospital started to organise meals throughout the day. Our NSO (National Sales Office) in Poland supported front-line workers by arranging for a restaurant to prepare meals which our colleagues then delivered to the hospital. This way, the NSO solved two problems at once, offering the hospital 100 dinners while supporting a local restaurant during these difficult times. 

Next to this, our Polish colleagues managed to help the employees in the children's hospital in the north of Warsaw by supplying personal protective equipment.

Providing 210,000 meals

NSO Italy supported Banco Alimentare, the largest social restaurant initiative in Italy, during COVID-19. The organisation donates and distributes food and meals, offers mental support and fights against the social inclusion of the poorest people in Italy. With the help of BrandCharity, the Italian colleagues managed to donate 210,000 meals to those in need.

The importance of sanitizing in South-Africa

We all know the importance of sanitizing and keeping our hands clean during this time. For communities in South-Africa, where the majority live below the poverty line, this is not a necessity nor their focus. BrandLoyalty South Africa, KiND Cares and Fresh Hands took it upon themselves to supply sanitizers, drinking water and hand wash to undeveloped areas so that they can help and educate their communities. We donated the first 1000 bottles of sanitizers, soaps and other essential items needed to help with hand hygiene.

This is a reflection of what South African people are all about, UBUNTU. There is an African proverb that says “umntu ngumntu ngabantu” which means I am because we are.
