Carmila joins Secours Populaire’s ‘Green Santas’ initiative and launches national fundraising campaign
As it has done every year since 1976, Secours Populaire is running its ‘Green Santas’ initiative to provide children and families in need with toys, books, festive food parcels, show and circus tickets, or treats and meals at restaurants throughout France.
From 5 to 24 December, visitors to participating Carrefour shopping centres are invited to enjoy a few moments of fun on the Charity at Christmas terminals. For everyone who participates, a donation of €1 will automatically be made to Secours Populaire. The luckiest visitors who win gift cards will have the chance to donate part of the amount credited to the card (up to €5). In addition to the donations collected on the 190 terminals, Carmila is also committing to donate a minimum of €20,000 to Secours Populaire.
“We are enormously proud to be supporting Secours Populaire, which is particularly engaged on these issues. With this country-wide initiative, we hope to enable as many people as possible to enjoy a very merry Christmas,” explains Sophie Chevillard, Carmila’s CSR Director.
This second national charity initiative is another step towards achieving the corporate CSR policy that Carmila has set out. Social and charitable initiatives are also a good way to establish links with shopping centre customers. Accordingly, in 2018 Carmila shopping centres organised more than 500 activities in partnership with local associations working on issues such as solidarity, access to culture and sport, and health.
