Southwire Expands 2020 Giving Efforts in Response to COVID-19
In response to COVID-19, and in support of our long-standing tradition of Giving Back to the communities in which we live and work, Southwire announced our largest donations to date in a three phase expansion of Giving Back efforts focused on hunger, education and hope for the holidays. Donations throughout the year,
totaled $1 million.
Project GIFT® (Giving Inspiration for Tomorrow) Relief Efforts
Southwire and Project GIFT partnered to bring relief to families impacted by COVID-19 by fundraising for hunger through the #UniteONESouthwire campaign, and during the holidays through the
Hope for the Holidays virtual event. Funds were distributed to non-profit organizations like Feeding America, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, Children International, Feed the Hungry and more. Project GIFT also provided more than 36,000 bags of school supplies for children in need, and the Blackshirt volunteers wrote messages of encouragement to kids starting the new school year during the pandemic.
