Together against food shortages,
In the Netherlands

Together against food distress in the Netherlands

Worldmeetings is actively committed to social engagement and improving living conditions within the Netherlands. To achieve this, we have been a proud friend of the Red Cross since 2024. Together, we focus on fighting food shortages, a situation that is unacceptable in our country.

Why the red cross?

The Red Cross plays a crucial role in alleviating human distress, both globally and in the Netherlands. For Worldmeetings, choosing the Red Cross is a logical step, given their mission to support vulnerable groups in emergencies. The project we specifically contribute to is aimed at Emergency food aid in the Netherlands, where thousands of people struggle daily to get basic necessities such as food.

Our contribution

With our partnership, we directly support the Red Cross emergency food aid programme. Each year, Worldmeetings makes a financial contribution that goes entirely to the following initiatives:

  • Providing shopping cards to 428 people for 7 days, allowing them to buy a varied, hot meal.
  • Handing out breakfast bags to 750 children, providing them with a healthy and varied breakfast for 7 days.

This collaboration helps families struggling to meet their basic needs and gives children a good start to the day.

impact

Our partnership with the Red Cross ensures that, as a company, we make a direct and tangible impact on society. Every year, hundreds of people in the Netherlands are helped thanks to our joint efforts with other SMEs. This partnership is in line with our broader goals of making a difference not only for our customers, but also for society.

The role of the Red Cross in the Netherlands

The Red Cross provides assistance to people in emergencies, including providing food, water, and shelter, both inside and outside crisis areas. Particularly in the Netherlands, the Red Cross focuses on supporting vulnerable populations who do not always have access to the help they need. Through the Food Emergency Relief programmes, thousands of people are supported to meet their daily nutritional needs.
