SIXT USA has launched an initiative to give disadvantaged children in South Florida a better start to the new school year. In collaboration with the non-profit organization Kids In Distress (KID, Inc.), the company organized the procurement of backpacks, notebooks, markers, pens, and pencil cases for children from families in crisis situations.

The SIXT team handed over the boxes full of school supplies at the main campus of Kids In Distress in Wilton Manors. The organization cares for children whose families find themselves in difficult life situations and provides safe foster families in the region. Through the provided materials, these children not only receive practical support for their educational journey, but also experience appreciation and belonging.

"Giving back to the community means a lot to me. Every backpack and every notebook is a small way of showing that these children's dreams matter and that they belong, no matter what they're going through at home," explains Samantha Rommel, Executive Project Manager – US Partnerships, who coordinated the initiative.
