InnVest Hotels Announces Charitable Partnership with Food Banks Canada for Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024
Toronto, ON – November 21, 2024 – InnVest Hotels is proud to announce its partnership with Food Banks Canada as the selected charitable partner for 2024. In a time when food insecurity is affecting countless individuals and families across the country, InnVest Hotels will be making a significant donation to support this vital cause on Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024.
Lydia Chen, President and CEO of InnVest Hotels, stated, “It could not be a more crucial time to support this cause, as evidenced by some impactful insights recently shared by Food Banks Canada. With 1 in 3 food bank users being children and over 2 million Canadians visiting food banks in March 2024—a staggering 90% increase from same time pre-pandemic levels—it is our responsibility to step up and make a difference in the communities we serve.”
The Corporate Impact Committee at InnVest Hotels has carefully selected Food Banks Canada as a partner for 2024, recognizing the urgent need to address food insecurity across the nation. This partnership aligns with InnVest’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement.
To raise awareness and support for this initiative, InnVest Hotels will host local activities during the weeks of November 19-29th. These activities will include:
- Lobby Activations: Collecting non-perishable food items in hotel lobbies to support local food banks.
- Volunteer Opportunities: Self-coordinated volunteer time at local food banks in the areas where our hotels are located.
- Corporate Office Volunteer Activities: Teams will engage in volunteer work with Second Harvest.
As part of the Food Banks Canada campaign, InnVest Hotels is pleased to announce that it will donate a portion of proceeds from all guest room sales on Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024.
“Together, we can work to ensure that no child goes hungry and that families have access to the nutritious food they need,” Chen added. We encourage our guests, partners, and the broader community to join us by donating, volunteering, and spreading the word about food insecurity in our communities on Giving Tuesday and beyond.
