Biltmore Farms Hotels continues its commitment to the Asheville Community by again partnering with MANNA FoodBank and Feeding America to launch FEED A FAMILY, an effort to impact the fight against hunger in Western North Carolina.
The FEED A FAMILY program will be offered
to guests at each of the company’s three properties, DoubleTree by Hilton
Asheville-Biltmore, Hilton Asheville Biltmore Park and Residence Inn Biltmore,
and be available for the upcoming holiday time periods - November 24-27, and
December 23 – January 2. The program gives hotel guests the option to
forgo housekeeping services in place of a donation to MANNA, which will provide
meals to families in need. Guests will receive a special
hanger at check-in that can be placed on their room door to signify
participation throughout their stay.
“We are honored to be partnering with
MANNA on our FEED A FAMILY project. Helping our guests with connecting to
the Asheville Community while visiting our properties has been a rewarding
experience for them, as well as our Biltmore Farms Hotels family,” stated
Robert Foster, Director of Hotel Operations for Biltmore Farms. “It is
our goal to not only impact those in need in our area, but to have our guests,
many of whom spend the Holidays at our properties each year, make this a part
of their traditions for years to come.”
Biltmore Farms Hotels and its properties
have supported MANNA FoodBank for several years. Employees regularly
volunteer at MANNA FoodBank’s distribution center, as well as collect can goods
for donation and participate in the Empty Bowls fundraiser each year.
This past year, due to the growth of Empty Bowls, the DoubleTree Biltmore
hosted both lunch and dinner events, which drew a record number of attendees
and raised enough money to provide over 220,000 meals to those in need across
Western North Carolina.
