Fimpec donates the funds allo­cated for Christmas 2023 customer gifts to the Good Holiday Spirit col­lection

In lieu of distributing Christmas gifts to clients, Fimpec has decided to contribute 5,000 euros to charity, following the tradition of recent years. This year, the chosen beneficiary is the Good Holiday Spirit collection organized by the Finnish Red Cross, the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare, and Yle, which aims to provide food gift cards to low-income families with children so they can purchase food for their Christmas table.

Gift cards worth 70 euros will be distributed to families with children residing in Finland. The recipient families of the gift cards are facing difficult situations due to factors such as unemployment, illness, excessive debt, low family income, or other crisis situations.

This year, the personnel chose the donation target through a collective vote, and individuals had the opportunity to openly justify their choice. Our staff felt that by participating in the Good Holiday Spirit collection, we can contribute to enabling the celebration of Christmas in homes where it might otherwise not be possible.

• “The good atmosphere of Christmas is influenced not only by being together but also by the Christmas offerings. Life is not fair for everyone in Finland; some have, and some do not. Much depends on the economy.”
• “There are plenty of low-income families and single parents. It’s nice to help them have a good time, even for Christmas.”
• “There are many low-income families in Finland, and they may not have the means to buy gifts for their children/Christmas food for Christmas. That’s why this cause is good.”
• “Christmas spirit is an important thing for the less fortunate as well.”
• “Especially during Christmas, we need good feelings in the world. I trust the activities of the Finnish Red Cross and the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare.”
• “All are good causes, but in many families with children in Finland, there is a modest Christmas coming, and that’s why this time the Good Christmas Spirit campaign is my choice.”
• “We are in a privileged position, and I want the funds to be directed to those families in our homeland who want to provide Christmas for their children, even if there are no financial prerequisites for it.”

We hope that the donation brings Christmas joy to those families who need it the most.
