The impressive donation sum of 2,500 euros is thanks to the sporting commitment of colleagues from the Gelsenkirchen and Halberstadt sites. For every runner who took part in this year's B2Run company run for the Masterflex Group, 100 euros was donated.
The money will be used for the "snack initiative", which provides children in need who are not (or cannot be) adequately fed by their parents with sandwiches. The sandwiches are made from freshly bought food. A team of volunteers takes care of the daily preparation, portioning and delivery to the schools in the region.
At the same time as the cash donation, Christina Neubauer, Head of Human Resources, was able to hand over lots of toys in good condition for the "children's closet" to the food bank. The toys were all donated by employees at the Gelsenkirchen site. The "children's clothes cupboard" provides low-income families with well-preserved children's clothes, toys and books for a small donation.
