Omni Hotels & Resorts Opens Up Say Goodnight to Hunger to Meeting Planners; Aims to Reduce Hunger Nationwide

DALLAS (May 17, 2017) – Omni Hotels & Resorts today announced it has permanently extended its Say Goodnight to Hunger program to meeting planners who book a meeting or event at any one of its 60 properties in North America. Since June 2016, for every direct booking made on OmniHotels.com, the luxury hotel brand has made a donation to Feeding America that feeds a family of four dinner as part of the Say Goodnight to Hunger initiative.

For all future group rooms booked, regardless of how the reservation is made, Omni will contribute one meal per room night. Therefore, if a group or association books 100 rooms for four nights, Omni will donate 400 meals to Feeding America through its Say Goodnight to Hunger initiative. This new donation to Feeding America is in addition to the donation Omni makes when a guest books directly on OmniHotels.com.

“In November of last year, for a limited time, we opened the Say Goodnight to Hunger program to our meeting planners who booked meetings and events at our properties and wanted to be part of the campaign,” said Peter Strebel, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of sales for Omni Hotels & Resorts. “We received a lot of feedback that Say Goodnight to Hunger should be permanently extended to groups, as many are looking for ways to be involved in the communities where they are holding their meetings and events. Some of our properties have taken it a step further, and have created team building events with the local food banks as another way for groups staying with us to give back.”

Say Goodnight to Hunger is the largest campaign launched by a Feeding America hospitality partner. Since the program launched, Omni has provided nearly 8.4 million meals to Feeding America. Omni’s commitment to feeding families and reducing hunger nationwide has gone beyond its pledge to make a donation to Feeding America for every stay booked directly on OmniHotels.com. Throughout the nation, Omni associates have volunteered at food banks in their local communities to amplify the impact of the Say Goodnight to Hunger mission. Nearly 5,000 associates have donated 7,705 hours of their personal time back into the communities where they live and work.
