This September, we want you to #StayForGood
September has always been a special month at IHG as our teams dedicate the entire month to giving back – and this year, we know our communities are in need more than ever.
This September, we’ll donate $1 to OzHarvest for each night you stay at participating IHG Hotel and Resort. Each dollar provides 2 meals, diverts a kilo of food waste from landfill and helps lower carbon emissions.
Last year, 3.7 million households across Australia went hungry at some point. That’s equivalent to every household in Sydney and Melbourne combined. Demand for food relief is at an all-time high due to cost-of-living pressures, with families and single parents being hardest hit.
By supporting OzHarvest, we’re helping people in need and taking care of our planet.
IHG x Oz Harvest: An Awesome Partnership
In 2019, IHG Hotel & Resorts launched a national partnership with OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. The aptly named ‘Awesome Partnership’ has seen our two organisations team up over the last five years to help build a sustainable food culture through eliminating food waste and creating opportunity and employment pathways to those in need.
Food Rescue from our Hotels and Resorts
By supporting OzHarvest’s Food Rescue program, IHG prevents good food from hotels going to waste and using it to feed hungry Australians via a network of charities across Australia. The initiative minimises food waste and provides high quality, nutritious meals to those in need, and dramatically reduces the negative impact on the environment by lightening the load on landfill.
Nourish Program
We are a proud supporter of Oz Harvest’s Nourish Program which provides at-risk youth with training and a qualification to pursue fulfilling careers in hospitality. The program trains students to achieve a Certificate II or III in Hospitality and gives them the opportunity to gain on-the-job training at our hotels through mentoring, hotel visits, work experience and engagement opportunities with our food and beverage teams. In addition to hospitality skills, the program creates hope, opportunity and pathways for a better life for vulnerable young people.
Staying with us has never felt so good. So book now, and #StayForGood
