Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax COVID-19 Fund
Donation protected
Over the past 20 years, The Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax has created special spaces for you, our guests, with fun experiences throughout. We are the places where you come together to eat, drink, stay, play, enjoy each other’s company and live life to the fullest – 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year – and where our staff make it their duty to welcome, take care of, and delight you with Brighthearted hospitality every time. We are your home away from home.
The global hospitality community has never seen anything like what has occurred over the past two weeks.The mandated shut downs and social distancing has forced us to limit our operations , which has led to the lay-off of our most valued team members . With such a decline in revenue ,we simply cannot continue to pay our staff. And in this moment, it is those who served our guests and local community day in and day out that are most affected by this unprecedented crisis - our employees. The decrease in travel , cancellation of conferences, meetings weddings and social gatherings at our hotels means that a vast majority of our staff are without a paycheck - housekeepers, front desk agents, bartenders, cooks, servers, bussers, maintenance crews , dishwashers, banquet staff, - many you know, many unseen, and many in need of support.
This fund was started by the leadership team at The Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax who are now opening it to you, our extended family to help reach our goal. 100% of the proceeds will be used for the benefit and support of team members who have lost their jobs due to the effect of COVID-19 and are struggling to maintain basic human needs including health care, medicine, groceries, diapers, and shelter.
Today, our hearts are with them and those workers in hotels, restaurants and bars around the world facing the same circumstances, some 266 million globally. The impact as a whole is almost unfathomable, and the impact on each individual is all too real.
Thank you for your support today, and over these many years we’ve shared .
When this passes, we will be ready to welcome you and our employees, back with open arms. There is nothing we want more.
