Once again, Dorier & MCI Switzerland made a difference with the Geneva Red Cross’ Christmas baskets initiative.

Our colleagues at MCI & Dorier Switzerland offered 96 gifts to disadvantaged children at Christmas 2021, as part of the Christmas baskets annual initiative from the Red Cross.

All in all with this initiative in 2021, the Geneva Red Cross distributed 2,500 Christmas baskets to disadvantaged 8,500 people and families in the Geneva region. In addition to basic foodstuffs, the Christmas Baskets contain festive products (delicacies, beauty or care products, gift vouchers, etc.) and toys for children. 4,500 children, received brand new toys adapted to their age, bringing some more magic to their Christmas.

Our Spain & Portugal agencies have been very active throughout 2021 to give back to their local communities!

Back in July, our agencies in Spain and Portugal held their Appreciation Day and dedicated part of this moment to give back to their communities. In Portugal, the team spent the afternoon volunteering with Red Cross Portugal preparing boxes of approximately 1,000 clothes to be distributed to a community in Northern Portugal. Meanwhile, our Spain team spent the afternoon cleaning the beach, and others in the countryside learning a little about sustainable cooking!

And they did not stop there! 

In September, the Barcelona team collaborated with the Red Cross in their back-to-school initiative! They volunteered in supermarkets encouraging families to buy school supplies for disadvantaged children. 

For the European Sustainable Development Week, they invited the owner of the Foundation “Aprofitem els aliments” (“how to take advantage of all kind of food”) who taught the team how to follow the 12 key points to identify a sustainable catering.

And finally, part of our Madrid team donated their blood to the Red Cross.
