VAHLE supports children's and youth welfare services in the region at Christmas
At Christmas, VAHLE is donating to two regional children's and youth welfare organizations. The Förderverein für Jugendhilfe Kamen e.V. and Aktion Lichtblicke e.V. will each receive EUR 2,000. Both organizations are dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and young people and their families who have been hit by misfortune. Half of the money comes from the social fund financed by the workforce, the other half is contributed by the Kamen-based company itself. The donation check was handed over by the works council and management.
Kamen, December 15, 2020 - "The past year and the coronavirus pandemic have not left our company unscathed. Nevertheless, we should not forget that there are many people who need our help right now," says Achim Dries, Managing Director of Paul Vahle GmbH & Co. The Kamen-based system provider for mobile industrial systems is therefore supporting two regional children's and youth aid organizations this year. "It is the youngest children who are particularly affected by the social or financial emergencies of their families. We would like to give them our attention and help at Christmas," says the Managing Director.
The donation of 4,000 euros, which is made up in equal parts by the company and the social fund financed by employees, will benefit the Förderverein der Jugendhilfe Kamen e.V. and Aktion Lichtblicke e.V.. Both organizations see themselves as a lobby for those in need and are responsible for various regional projects. Uwe Dickmann, a member of the works council at Paul Vahle GmbH & Co KG who manages the social fund, explains: "Among other things, we will use the money to help provide socially disadvantaged children in Kamen with proper equipment for homeschooling."
Dries and Dickmann handed over the cheque to Mr. Gibbels, 1st Chairman of the Förderverein für Jugendhilfe Kamen e. V.
