The Solidarity Boxes Initiative by Groupe JMI: A Heartwarming Gesture for the Holidays
Last December, Groupe JMI launched a touching and meaningful solidarity initiative: the Solidarity Boxes. Designed to bring comfort to those in need during the holiday season, this initiative mobilized all our teams and reinforced the values of solidarity that are so dear to us.
A Simple Concept Full of Human Warmth
The idea behind the Solidarity Boxes is both simple and impactful: fill a shoebox with a few essential items and heartfelt gestures to bring smiles to those in need. Each box had to contain:
- A hygiene product (soap, shower gel, toothpaste…),
- A treat (chocolates, cookies, sweets…),
- A warm clothing item or accessory (hat, scarf, gloves…),
- A leisure item (book, game, notebook…),
- And most importantly, a kind note or drawing to add a personal and comforting touch.
The goal was to combine utility with kindness, creating small surprises that warm the heart.
Outstanding Team Mobilization
The call for participation was extended across all Groupe JMI sites. Employees, managers, and site leaders enthusiastically prepared these small boxes filled with hope. Collection points quickly overflowed, reflecting a beautiful wave of generosity within the group.
This initiative also brought our teams together around a shared cause, reminding us that small gestures, when multiplied, can make a big difference.
The boxes were carefully collected, sorted, and handed over to our partners, who ensured they were distributed to beneficiaries across the region. This collaboration with a recognized charity guaranteed that each box reached the right hands and brought real comfort.
A Success That Inspires Us for the Future
The Solidarity Boxes initiative was a great success, both in terms of participation and human impact. This action not only provided some material comfort but also delivered a message of hope and support to people going through difficult times.
The kind notes, little drawings, and thoughtful additions in each box are proof that empathy and solidarity remain at the core of Groupe JMI’s values.
A Big Thank You to All Participants!
This success would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment of our teams. We extend a huge thank you:
- To all employees who took the time to carefully prepare these boxes,
- To the site leaders for their organization and involvement,
- And, of course, to the associations, who play a vital role in distributing these donations.
Together, Let’s Keep Acting for a More Caring Future
The Solidarity Boxes initiative is just the first step toward other engaged and responsible projects. Encouraged by this success, Groupe JMI will continue proposing solidarity initiatives to support those in need and contribute, at our scale, to a fairer and kinder world.
