Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has announced its annual Kilo of Kindness campaign for the month of October, collecting community donations of clothes, food, toys, and school supplies in support of local charitable organisations.
Mövenpick Hotel Auckland is taking part in the charitable giving campaign on behalf of Auckland City Mission. Guests, visitors, and members of the Auckland community are invited to bring in pre-loved and brand-new donations.
“Mövenpick believes in the power of food as a force for good and a medium for positive change, so we invite you to bring a bag of donations to one of our participating hotels,” said Kishan Chandnani, Global Vice President, Premium Brands, Accor.
This year, Mövenpick’s Kilo of Kindness aims to gather 25,000 kilos of donations, across 77 participating Mövenpick hotels around the world. Achieving this year’s goal will bring the added excitement of surpassing 100,000 kilos donated since the campaign began in 2015.
Last year, Mövenpick Hotel & Apartments Bur Dubai and Mövenpick Hotel Apartments Al Mamzar Dubai together collected more than 3,000 kilos. In Croatia, Mövenpick Zagreb delivered 509 kilos to SOS Villages.
“Acts of kindness really do hold weight,” said Mövenpick Hotel Auckland GM Zac Lumsden. “When we pull together as a community, a kilo of kindness really is light work – just bag it, bring it, and be the change. Every kilo counts.”
Kilo of Kindness donations may be delivered to Mövenpick Hotel Auckland during the month of October and will be generously shared with Te Tāpui Atawhai Auckland City Mission.
All contributions are welcome and gratefully received. High-priority items include books, notebooks and stationery, canned foods, dry foods, tea and coffee, and clothing for adults and children.
