Food for the soul

(JB) Love was in the air at one international firm based in Luxembourg when staff got baking for Valentine's day and a good cause.

KPMG's fundraising bake sale, dubbed 'Let me be your Valentine' saw colleagues roll up their sleeves and create sweet treats to raise funds for GIGS Archipel A.s.b.l. project “Ile aux Clowns ”, an organisation visiting sick children in hospitals and at home and the elderly in retirement homes and nursing homes.

Thanks to the skills of a handful of employees, more than 500 bags of chocolates, cakes and cookies were sold. Indeed, the whole stock was sold within an hour of starting, helping to raise 2.618,52 euros for the charity.

Volunteer and KPMG employee Delphine Guillemet said: “It was awesome to take a bit of time for this wonderful cause. It’s very encouraging to see the many positive reactions of the people”.

The KPMG CSR team thanked the volunteers for contributing to the event.
