A Decade of Partnership and a Season of Giving: Johnson & Johnson and the Swiss Red Cross

For more than ten years, Johnson & Johnson in Switzerland has proudly partnered with the Swiss Red Cross (SRK) to make a real difference in the lives of caregivers and vulnerable communities.

Through our collaboration, we help provide caregivers with relief hours, giving them the chance to take a well-deserved break while a trained professional steps in to cover their responsibilities. In doing so, we not only offer caregivers much-needed relief hours but also create a vibrant peer-to-peer network where they can connect, share experiences, learn, and grow together.

2xChristmas initiative and J&J Care Community

This year, we joined forces once again with SRK to support their “2x Christmas” campaign, an initiative that helps people affected by poverty by providing essential goods like food and hygiene products.

Two long tables are packed with sorted donation items, including canned food, hygiene products, and colorful shopping bags filled with essentials. The space is lined with large windows and warm overhead lighting.

Why does this matter?

Because even in Switzerland, poverty is a reality for more than 700,000 people, and the gap between what’s needed and what’s donated continues to grow. Through our collaboration, we aim to close that gap and spread hope during the holiday season.

In December, we hosted the J&J CareCommunity Flagship Event at our Campus in Zug, bringing Our Credo to life in a powerful way. Together with 50 highly motivated employees we successfully sorted and packed 100 boxes filled with food and hygiene essentials. Our Swiss Leadership Team is excited for January as they proudly step in at the SRK facilities, unpacking and sorting the generous donations from our amazing Swiss community. Together, we are shaping healthier communities, one action at a time.

Take action and make your impact

From 24 December to 18 January, you can help those in need too by donating food and hygiene products, free of charge, at any Swiss Post Office counter.
