Who We Are
For the past 40 years, Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC has had the pleasure of serving our community and making memories to last a lifetime for our guests. Yes, we provide guest rooms, food, beverage, spa & fitness  experiences…but our real business is making memories for our guests and community.

Who Needs Your Help
Our team of 450+ colleagues have been engaged community members, passionately giving to others in need year-round. Last year alone, our colleagues helped us raise more than $500,000  for the community through sponsored events for charities such as Race to Beat Cancer, benefiting MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Thanksgiving on the Mayflower , benefiting DC First Responders and Light Up the Season benefiting Children's Hospital . Our team is a group of hardworking and compassionate individuals who have always lived by the Golden Rule, taking care of others day after day.

Current Situation
As you are probably aware, the hospitality industry has been devastated by the loss of travelers during this pandemic. In response to official and necessary statewide health ordinances, millions of dollars have been lost from cancelled events and reservations, as well as closures of our restaurants and spa, triggering an unprecedented impact on our dedicated employees. We are continuing to offer a service to the community to host guest rooms, but the occupancy levels are extremely low and the reduction in staff hours have been devastating. They, and their families, are in critical need.

What We Are Doing for Our Employees
The hotel is now operating at a loss in order to continue to keep guest rooms available for essential travel into the area. We have made every effort to keep as many colleagues on schedule as possible and the hotel will pay 100% of our employees' medical benefits for the next 60 days while they are on reduced hours or furlough, but it’s simply not enough to provide for their families.

How You Can Help
We consider our colleagues our family, and we want to make sure their families don’t go hungry. Our goal is to provide as many hot meals for their families as we can per week during the next two months. For every $20 donated, we can feed a family of four.

Please consider helping us in our pursuit to bridge the gap for our hardest hit colleagues as they face the immediate devastating personal impact of this pandemic on their own lives. 100% of donations will go directly to Four Seasons & Mina Group DC Employee Meal Relief Fund, assisting employees in danger of losing housing and other essential resources by helping keep their family fed. Our managers and culinary leaders are donating their time to help prepare and distribute. Many on furlough are so passionate about helping our employees they are volunteering their time to come in and help.

We promise you, our employees will come back strong and make beautiful new memories for you in the future if you can help us through this time.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are a community. Together, we are a family.
