Omni Hotels & Resorts Doubles Meal Donations for Every Stay During Hunger Action Month

DALLAS, TX - Omni Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce an expanded commitment to its Say Goodnight to Hunger campaign in recognition of Hunger Action Month®. Through the year-round program, Omni helps to provide one meal to Feeding America for every completed leisure or group stay, directly supporting local food banks in the communities where its hotels operate. From September 1–30, Omni will double its impact by helping to provide two meals to Feeding America for every completed stay across its properties nationwide.

The program was created as an extension of Omni’s longstanding commitment to local giving and has continued to grow, connecting every stay to meaningful local impact. Since launching Say Goodnight to Hunger in June 2016, Omni Hotels & Resorts has surpassed 30 million meals donated to families facing hunger.

Say Goodnight to Hunger has always been about more than meals; it’s about supporting the communities that are at the heart of our hotels. Surpassing 30 million meal donations to families facing hunger is an achievement we’re incredibly proud of, and we’re looking forward to building the momentum and impact of this program by doubling our contributions this September.

Kurt Alexander, President of Omni Hotels & Resorts

The campaign has continued to grow this year across the Omni Hotels & Resorts portfolio, including through its Birdies-or-Better golf giving program. In partnership with the PGA TOUR, Omni donates meals to Feeding America for every birdie-or-better made by golfers during PGA TOUR events, resulting in more than 1.7 million meals donated to date. Five properties have also joined the program's "1M Meals Club," each having donated more than one million meals since the program's inception: 

• Omni Dallas Hotel (1.44 million)

• Omni Nashville Hotel (1.31 million)

• Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate (1.27 million)

• Omni Fort Worth Hotel (1.15 million)

• Omni Shoreham Hotel Washington D.C. (1.02 million)

Ending hunger takes everyone stepping up, especially now when so many communities are feeling stretched and uncertain. Programs like Say Goodnight to Hunger make a real difference in ensuring families experiencing food insecurity have access to the food they need to thrive. We are grateful for partners like Omni Hotels & Resorts whose support is a testament to what we can accomplish when a company builds giving into the fabric of its business.
