Hyatt Regency Cincinnati Hotel Volunteers with Freestore Foodbank to Celebrate Hyatt's Global Volunteer Initiative
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) April 29, 2014 -- In recognition of Hyatt’s global corporate responsibility platform, Thrive, Downtown Cincinnati’s Hyatt Regency Hotel supported the community by engaging in a volunteer day with the Freestore Foodbank’s Giving Fields. On Tuesday, April 22, Hyatt associates were on hand to plant, water, maintain & harvest fresh produce at the community farm in Melbourne Kentucky. The Giving Fields grows fresh fruits and vegetables for some of the Freestore Foodbank’s community partner agencies in Northern Kentucky.
Volunteer days like this one are a key tenet of Hyatt Thrive and part of Hyatt’s global volunteer initiative, which brings Hyatt associates from around the world together in a common effort to volunteer in the communities where they call home.
Hyatt Thrive empowers over 85,000 Hyatt associates at more than 450 properties around the world to help communities do one thing – Thrive – by focusing on four areas: environmental sustainability; economic development and investment; education and personal advancement; and health and wellness.
“We are dedicated to the city of Cincinnati, and our associates are honored to be a part of Hyatt’s global volunteer initiative, working with Freestore Foodbank Giving Fields,” Bruce Flyer, General Manager, Hyatt Regency Cincinnati. “Hyatt Thrive is a natural extension of Hyatt’s mission, which is to provide authentic hospitality by making a difference in the lives of people we come in contact with every day.”
The volunteer work also coincides with a long-standing tradition of celebrating Hyatt associates around the world. Celebrating community and its people is a global demonstration of Hyatt’s dedication to thriving communities where associates live and work.
