Samsung PRIDE ERG Volunteers Create Care Kits to Support LGBTQIA+ Communities During Mental Health Awareness Month

Programming example

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting the inspiriting partnership between our PRIDE Employee Resource Group and Project Helping – a nonprofit organization focused on improving mental wellness through volunteering.Across the country, Samsung employees joined virtually to create Kynd Kits meant to support and empower LGBTQIA+ individuals in need. Our volunteers spent the session writing letters of encouragement, sharing words of affirmation, and decorating items that would be distributed to communities throughout the U.S.“We shared, laughed and got super creative, all in an effort to brighten someone’s day and support their (and our) mental health. It was a wonderful time! And we’re looking forward to doing it again soon!” recalls our PRIDE ERG leader, Aislinn Rodriguez-Bennett.Thank you to our PRIDE ERG and all our participants for reminding us that the simplest gestures can mean the most.
