With the spirit of "Tet - Stronger Together", Tet-One-Home" program aims to provide opportunities to these beneficiaries to return home, and celebrate the spirit of unity, togetherness and solidarity with family as well as friends. We hope the spirit of national unity will be embraced by every home across the regions as one Vietnam during this most auspicious moment of the Vietnamese New Year”.
In the course of implementation, the program has noted the active participation of workers who have achieved good results and of the pandemic prevention volunteer force in 2021.

In 2021, SABECO has cooperated with the Central Vietnam Youth Federation and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to implement "Community Care", which provided medical equipment and supplies to hospitals and frontline forces in the fight against Covid-19, and 5,000 necessities to struggling household. In addition to this, another joint program "Collecting a million stars" was launched to rally everyone in Vietnam to spread the spirit of 'Stronger Together', while supporting 600 struggling F&B household businesses in HCMC. This "Tet-One-Home" program is a continuation of these series of activities of Stronger Together.
