In an initiative that celebrates the charitable spirit of Ramadan, Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers invites the public to participate in ‘A Kilo of Kindness’. Launched by Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, the campaign pairs generosity from the public with needs of the less fortunate.

 

The food-raising drive invites anyone to donate non-perishable food items by simply dropping supplies off at the hotel lobby during Ramadan until 30 June 2016. Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers is supporting Beit Al Kheir, the special charity that will benefit from the donation.

 

Requested donation items include:

 

• Canned food: tuna, soup, fruit, vegetables
• Dry food: rice, beans, oats, pasta, cereals, flour, powder milk, tea
• Non-glass packaged food: olive oil, canola oil, honey
• Baby food: milk formula, infant cereal
• Clothing
• School supplies

 

Beit Al Kheir Society

Beit Al Kheir Society supporting elderly, widowers, divorced women, families of prison inmates, people of special needs, orphans, students as well as other people undergoing hardship.

 

Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers is one of more than 15 Mövenpick hotels in the Middle East and Africa that are participating in this initiative. ‘A Kilo of Kindness’ forms part of Shine, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ global corporate social responsibility programme. Shine’s pillars are Environment, Employer and Social Sustainability, with a special focus on Education.
