“Pack the Backpack” Event with Fitch Group
"Pack the Backpack" Event in Frankfurt
At United Way Germany, we are convinced that we can achieve more together, and we rely on highly motivated and engaged partners to turn our joint vision into reality. In the fall of 2023, United Way Germany and the Fitch Group implemented a joint volunteering event called “Pack the Backpack“ in their local Frankfurt office. Working with Fitch and seeing the commitment of the local Champions in action was not only inspiring, but also impactful. This partnership is once again a reminder how critical corporate citizenship and employee engagement are in our society, and we will continue to work on expanding the corporate citizenship idea across Germany. We thank the Fitch Group and our local non-profit partner this opportunity and look forward to many more events like this.

Testimonials on the Project
Von ganzem Herzen sende ich Ihnen ein großes Danke von den Kindern an der Pestalozzischule. Die Mädchen und Jungen haben sich riesig gefreut 😊 Viele der Kinder nutzen den Rucksack für die Schule, andere wiederum für Sport und Freizeit. Auf jeden Fall laufen mir...beinahe täglich Kinder mit dem Rucksack über den Weg, was mir jedes Mal ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubert. - Simone Koch, CEO KidS Frankfurt GmbH
