Monday, October 21, 2013
Last week, the Hilton Grand Vacations team in Orlando, Florida participated in Hilton Worldwide Global Week of Service. From October 6th-12th over 125 team members from Hilton Grand Vacations Club volunteered for Central Florida’s Coalition for the Homeless.
President of Hilton Grand Vacations, Mark Wang shares, “The Hilton Grand Vacations team proudly shares our support of Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. We remain committed to positively impacting the lives of our neighbors in need and this signature volunteer event enables us to make an important difference […] Service is at the heart of our business, and today, we are spending the afternoon spreading the light and warmth of Hilton hospitality.”
Throughout the week, volunteers completed 10 different projects for the Coalition for the Homeless, which will help thousands of members of the Orlando community.
President and CEO of Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, Brent Trotter says, “We sincerely appreciate the support we receive from Hilton Grand Vacations. Today is an amazing reflection of their commitment, and their team members are engaged in volunteer efforts and service projects all year long. The consistent, committed support that Hilton Grand Vacations provides to our organization makes a very meaningful impact and we are so grateful for their contributions.”
The Global Week of Service is Hilton’s largest annual volunteer effort. From corporate offices to their many timeshare resorts, employees come together to give back to their communities and its members. During Hilton Worldwide’s 2012 Global Week of Service, team members from over 600 resorts and offices participated in the volunteer effort and were able to complete over 800 service projects. This year, the company hopes to complete over 1,200 volunteer projects.
