About 200 employees of Phadnis Group donated three large boxes of clothes, books, toys, stationery, blankets and warm clothes to Goonj, a voluntary organisation that works for the poor.
The collection drive was held over eight days beginning last week of November. The drive was a part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity.
Phadnis Group along with Goonj, initiated the donation campaign on the company’s premises. All the officers and verticals of Phadnis Group were a part of this drive, where each one donated clothes and other articles to the poor.
The clothes were handed over to Goonj, which the organisation may use as Christmas presents for the poor and needy, they work with.
