Ahead of the New Year, employees of the Central Office of the Social Fund of Russia decided to bring joy to soldiers participating in the special military operation. More than 500 kilograms of sweet gifts were collected and sent to the front line.
Fund employees purchased their favorite treats and brought them to the collection point. Members of the Youth Council of the Social Fund packed candies, gingerbread, tea and coffee, condensed milk, chocolate, and cookies into boxes, which were then shipped to our soldiers.
Social Fund employees and their relatives who were mobilized or voluntarily joined the special military operation also received New Year's care packages and greetings from Social Fund personnel.
This is not the first initiative by the Social Fund to support the country's defenders. Over the past year, employees of the Social Fund from across the country donated approximately RUB 168 million to benefit participants in the special military operation.
In addition to fundraising, Social Fund specialists nationwide actively participate in other charitable efforts to support servicemen. Since the early days of the special operation, they have regularly collected and sent humanitarian aid: medications, clothing, household supplies, food, camouflage nets, trench candles, and much more. Relatives and close ones of employees, as well as concerned citizens visiting the Social Fund's Senior Citizen Communication Centers, actively join these campaigns.
