A toy drive for the end of the year

 
From December 2 to 16, 2024, the Foundation organized a nationwide drive to collect toys and children’s books. Thirteen locations volunteered to collect donations on their premises and forward them to a local charity.

A nationwide Christmas fundraiser for children

Once again this year, the Foundation organized a toy and book drive for children from the most vulnerable families. Project leaders from the Onet Group stepped up and set up collection points accessible to employees and customers wishing to donate toys, board games, and books—new or in good condition—to give them a new lease on life.

Nearly a thousand toys and books were collected

Thirteen Onet Group locations volunteered to participate in the toy drive. The sites in Bron, Roscoff, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Marly, Niort, La Roche-sur-Yon, Maison-Alfort, Vitrolles, Marseille, Île-de-France, Rouen, Metz, and Bourges contributed to this initiative. The total number of donations amounts to nearly 1,000 toys.

In particular, the sites in the Bouches-du-Rhône department played a major role in this success. The group’s headquarters in Marseille, along with the Onet Propreté et Services and Prodim regional offices in Vitrolles, collected nearly 700 toys.
