KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 (Bernama) -- In a continuing effort to support the household needs of families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the AEON Group of Companies through its foundation in Malaysia, contributed homecare boxes to members of the aviation industry, one of the hardest hit, as part of its 2021 community support programme.  

The BersamaAEON project launched last month was initiated to help ease the financial burden of households affected by reduced earnings or job losses through the supply and delivery of monthly groceries to families throughout the nation. 

At the handover ceremony on 12 March to ground handlers at AeroDarat, Datin Yasmin Ahmad Merican, the President of the Malaysian AEON Foundation said: “As a community driven organisation, AEON’s focus continues to be on the wellbeing of the many communities who have supported AEON’s growth here in Malaysia not just in the past, but also today, and into the future. Launching these pandemic relief programmes at the start of the Covid-19 outbreak with early support for healthcare workers at hospitals, our objective in 2021 is to redirect assistance towards households within badly affected industries. In so doing, it is our hope  that these small and hopefully timely contributions, will bring smiles to more families as they financially recover.”

The six-month project of personalised monthly homeboxes to families is being implemented through the efforts of AEON employees, business partners and foundation volunteers where doorstep deliveries to recipients are facilitated by AeroDarat in collaboration with AEON Malaysia.

The Malaysian AEON Foundation is the charity arm of the AEON Group of Companies in Malaysia. Established in 2004 as a tax-exempt Foundation, it strives to fulfil its mission of contributing and sharing with those in need through environmental, community and wellness programmes with customers, partners and all stakeholders associated with its business operations in Malaysia.
