🌟Amsterdam Do Good Day 🌟 🤝 On 27 June, our Benelux teams participated in the Do Good Day, marking the very first for all our Amsterdam and Brussels colleagues! This day was all about empowering our team to give back to the Amsterdam community through time, effort and resources to make a positive impact. 🙌 With support from Stichting NL Cares, more than 117 volunteers participated in 10 different activities, ranging from biodiversity reconstruction to fixing community spaces, and engaging with children and the elderly. ⚡ Together, we’ve increased our impact on the community even more! Your smiles, conversations, skills and efforts truly made a difference in our Amsterdam community. Special thanks to Victoria Vallejo Fuccella, Tommy de Geus, and Sanny de Boer for making this event possible. #DoGoodDay #CommunityImpact #VolunteerDay

♻️ Can pre-loved treasures have a second life? You bet!
