On our first-ever Global Volunteer Day, employees around the globe gave their time to support our communities. Here's a recap of the impact our teams were able to make this year.

 

Mexico City, Mexico

In Mexico City, our team spent time with Ayuda y Solidaridad, an organization dedicated to providing resources for young girls and women at risk of homelessness. Our team was able to donate over 30kg of food, hygiene and cleaning supplies, along with clothes and toys.

In Shanghai, volunteers supported a neighborhood service center by answering queries through the telephone hotline about when and where residents can receive a 3rd vaccination shot, cleaning up public areas, collecting donations from residents for local charities, posting donation collection flyers at nearby apartment buildings, and helping to guarantee resident safety by checking fire escape routes.
