STAYING true to their commitment to continuously improve their relationship with the communities they serve, as well as strengthening their skills towards community development, SM employees took part in a program that aimed to give love to the elderly.
 
Hundreds of employees from SM Supermalls, SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc. (SMLEI), SM Family Entertainment, Inc. (FECI) and SM Engineering Design Development Corp. (SMEDD Corp.) participated in a one-day activity dubbed as “Show More Care for the Elderly”, an Employee Volunteerism Program spearheaded by SM Supermalls in all of its malls over the country.
 
Last September 12, the employee volunteers visited various senior citizen centers in the local communities where their malls operate. They held various activities for the elderly, focusing on grooming and wellness.
 
Seniors were given free haircuts, pampering, toiletry kits, gifts and food packs. A short program and variety entertainment also took place. Employees likewise held interactive activities, such as learning sessions on common health concerns of the elderly, consultation with nurses, exercises and games
 
Aside from care for the elderly, SM’s employee volunteerism program also has projects for children and the community. Julie M. Miteria, Vice President of SM Supermalls Human Resources Department said SM’s volunteerism program is aimed at strengthening employees’ support to the communities where an SM Mall operates.
 
“Employee volunteerism is a way of life for our employees. Our employees actively take part in it because it is part of our commitment to support the communities we serve.
