Participation in the Corona Initiative: Hamburg Pulls Together

Within a matter of weeks, the aid initiative “Hamburg packt’s zusammen” wasset up. By pooling their resources, in-kind donations and financial contributions, the partner companies – including MB Energy (Marquard & Bahls) – aim to support people in Hamburg and the surrounding area who are struggling particularly hard with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. These include single parents, families, the elderly, the homeless and students. The goal is to pack 25,000 care parcels tailored to people’s needs who have fallen on hard times as a result of the pandemic and its consequences. So far, over 30 staff members from the company’s Hamburg headquarters have taken part in this large-scale packing campaign to ensure the bags can be distributed promptly via the partner organisation Hanseatic Help e.V.
