TORONTO On Mother s Day, each Delta hotel across Canada will join the efforts of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and “adopt” a local women s shelter. With the launch of Adopt-A-Shelter at Delta Hotels, in addition to Fairmont s ongoing efforts, more than 60 hotels across Canada will reach out to women s shelters with large-scale donations of goods and services as well as volunteer support.
The program involves each hotel providing used furniture, bedding and other household items to the shelter they adopt. In addition to the donation of goods, the Adopt-A-Shelter program has included a significant financial component. (5/9/01)
