At the core of Convergint’s culture of service is the annual Social Responsibility Day. Since 2002, Convergint dedicates a full, paid workday every June so that colleagues may go out to serve in their communities through various service projects. This year, on June 7th, during the 23rd Social Responsibility Day, Convergint Singapore reaffirmed its commitment to serving the community by supporting underprivileged seniors.
Partnering with Lions Befrienders Service Association (Singapore), Convergint Singapore assisted 150 underprivileged seniors residing in low-income rental public housing. The initiative aimed to alleviate their expenses by providing daily necessities. Nearly 50 colleagues came together to pack and distribute care packs containing dry rations and other essential items. Activities began at the Bendemeer Active Ageing Center with a pre-packing session. Subsequently, the team conducted door-to-door distributions, personally delivering the care packs to seniors’ homes. This direct engagement not only provided much needed supplies, but also fostered a sense of community and warmth among recipients and colleagues.
“Collaborating with Lions Befrienders has given us the opportunity to extend our support and connect with the community on a deeper level. We are incredibly proud of our team’s efforts and the difference we’ve made. Social Responsibility Day is not just an annual event for us; it’s a vital part of our values and culture at Convergint.”
– Gary Wong, Vice President, Southeast Asia and South Korea
