Samsung is generating a $1 million donation to the United Way of
Metropolitan Dallas Coronavirus Response & Recovery Fund to help the city’s
efforts against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The donation will help
address the most immediate and urgent wants of North Texans and the city’s
long-term retrieval plans.
The fund was established in mid-March and, so far, it has decided
over $2 million to 144 organizations fighting against the local outbreak.
Samsung has just given us one million additional ways to help. We’re humbled by
their kindness and support stated Jennifer Sampson, McDermott-Templeton
President and CEO of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas.
Samsung has many facilities and thousands of employees in
the Metro Dallas area, and the company plays a vital role in societies in which
our employees live and work, said YH Eom, President and CEO of Samsung
Electronics America.
Addressing supply lacks, school closures, the economy and
more
The United Way of Metropolitan Dallas Coronavirus Response
& Recovery Trust addresses the immediate needs of North Texas residents.
These resources will be used to curb supply lacks of hand sanitizer, paper
goods, cleaning products, and potentially food.
The fund is also looking to support schools and childcare
programs during their extended closures, as well as the economic effect felt by
countless workers in the retail, service, and travel industries.
Samsung’s efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic extend to
numerous republics beyond the USA. The company donated $24.6 million in support
of the South Korean government a pair of months back, and only earlier this
week it made a $5+ million donation to India.
