Westwing donates EUR 50,000 to the victims affected by the flood
Munich, 29th July 2021. The devastating floods in several parts of Germany have changed the lives of many people unexpectedly and tragically. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all victims, our admiration to the helpers on the ground. Our whole team has been deeply touched by the courage and solidarity in this time of crisis.
Of course, we wanted to help. In order to maintain aid in the crisis areas and support essential care, aid organizations continue to rely on help. “In the first step, Westwing has made a monetary donation of EUR 50,000 to the German Red Cross as a responsible partner in order to quickly provide help where it is needed,” said Tobias Seitz, Chief Marketing Officer Westwing. “In the second step, we want to provide support for people rebuilding their homes in the affected regions. Home is the core of our business, which is why this issue is very close to our hearts.”
The German Red Cross has been working for days in the affected areas to help deal with the devastating consequences of the flood on people and infrastructure. In addition to medical care, the focus is on stabilizing the situation and providing relief supplies.
We will continue to monitor the situation to help where we can.
