The holiday season is not just a time for giving gifts but also for connecting with others. At Mikro+Polo, we are proud to be part of a community that understands true wealth lies not in material things but in the way we impact others’ lives.
The holiday season is a time for connection, compassion, and seeking opportunities to help others. This year, at Mikro+Polo, we have decided to redirect funds that would traditionally be spent on gifts for our customers to support those who cannot experience the holidays in the usual way. Festive lights, Christmas dinners, and presents are often out of reach for people facing challenges beyond their control. For this reason, we have chosen to make our gift budget a source of joy for others.
Marko Podgornik Verdev, CEO, shared his thoughts: “The holiday season is an opportunity to show what it means to be part of a community that recognises its responsibility to others. By choosing to allocate funds that would have been spent on gifts to those who cannot celebrate the holidays as they deserve, we are making a real difference. At Mikro+Polo, we believe that true wealth is not in material possessions but in how we touch the lives of others.”
With a contribution of over 5.000 €, we have supported three key charitable initiatives:
- Društvo Upornik (The Rebel Society): We donated 200 care packages containing essential items for individuals supported by the organisation, who are navigating various life challenges. We believe even a small gesture can bring significant change to their everyday lives.
- Raising Awareness of Early Diagnosis: As part of our ongoing commitment to health and wellbeing, we distributed over 2,100 copies of the booklet “Why Did Špela Get Ill?” to preschool children. This story helps children and their parents understand the importance of early diagnosis and disease prevention.
- Radio City’s Campaign “When It’s Christmas, Let It Be Christmas for Everyone”: We joined this charitable initiative to ensure the festive season truly brings joy and warmth to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.
