In the United States, our Sacramento team continued two community traditions they have been supporting for years. For more than ten years, employees have supported the Salvation Army Angel Tree program, which provides gifts to children whose families are facing crisis situations such as unemployment, homelessness or medical emergencies. Each year, names and wish lists of children aged 0–12 are displayed on tree ornaments across the city. Barco employees supported six children by fulfilling their wishes with items ranging from clothing and toys to hygiene products or small tech devices.

In addition, for the past five years our Sacramento colleagues have contributed essential supplies to the Sacramento Children’s Home Crisis Nursery. As the county’s only crisis nursery, it supports families in times of crisis with emergency childcare for children between 0 and 5 years old. Barco employees donated items from the nursery’s needs list, which includes food, diapers and hygiene products. These contributions help the nursery continue its mission of supporting families when they’re in urgent need of care.
