In response to the government’s call, LSH Auto China partnered with the Beijing Youth Development Foundation to support the medical heroes who are fighting COVID-19 in the city. The initiative, entitled “Helping Medical Heroes – Care Packages for Caregivers”, was launched to deliver much needed food and supplies to frontline medical staff as well as their families in Beijing.

The situation in Beijing has gradually improved since March. People’s lives have been going back to normal and many businesses have reopened. However, we can’t declare victory over the outbreak yet, as many medical staff continue to work long hours to take care for patients.
Participating in the “Helping Medical Heroes” program is our small way to express our appreciation to the selfless medical heroes who continue to work in the front line. Since the beginning of March, LSH Auto China, the Beijing Youth Development Foundation and other supporters have donated weekly care packages containing a week’s supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. The program is funded through Beijing Youth Development Foundation’s channels. Every Saturday the parcels are delivered by professional couriers to the families of 1,401 frontline medical workers. The campaign will continue for a total of two months, until the end of April.
LSH Auto China responded to the initiative quickly through cooperation with Beijing LSH Charitable Foundation and voluntary donations by its staff, as the Helping Medical Heroes initiative is the perfect way to honour and support Beijing’s frontline medical professionals.
Ms. Qian Ronghui, Secretary General of the Beijing Youth Development Foundation, said: “We would like to thank LSH for its tremendous support in expressing our thanks to the medical staff in Beijing. We have worked alongside LSH for many years and appreciate this opportunity to deepen our efforts to promote community service. We also look forward to having more volunteers join these efforts. We believe standing together will enable us to weather the storm.”
In addition to helping support the medical community in Beijing, The LSH Auto China team has worked to ensure the safety and health of our employees in China since the outbreak. We have also followed government’s order to resume our business in a safe and orderly manner to fulfil our social responsibility.
