Teaching Kids to CARE

Last week, the Doubletree Hotel San Jose‘s Teaching Kids To CARE program, had a fun-filled day with Bachrodt Elementary School’s second grade class. The children had been working hard the last few months collecting canned food for low-income families and the Doubletree San Jose staff wanted to reward the children for all their accomplishment.

The excited second grade class came to the hotel and was shown around by the staff to different parts of the hotel (such as, where the delicious chocolate chip cookies are made, one of the guest rooms, and much more) and finished the day with a delicious lunch.

The kids learned a lot about world hunger, along with CARE, and had a blast doing it.

For every item collected, Doubletree will donate $0.10 to Second Harvest Food Bank, where kids will be helping other kids in need around their community.

Second Harvest Food Bank

The last few months, Doubletree Hotel San Jose’s CARE Committee, has teamed up with Bachrodt Elementary School in collecting canned food to donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and Modesto. All of the food collected will be distributed to low income families with in the area between Daly City and Gilroy. The last fiscal year (July 2009 – July 2010), Second Harvest collected and distributed over 45.5 million pounds of nutritious food to families in need.

Last month, Doubletree San Jose’s Care Committee, visited the Bachrodt Elementary and introduced the program and concept of hunger to the second grade class.

This week, the class will be coming to the hotel to deliver their collected food, get a tour of the hotel, and enjoy in a celebratory lunch for all their hard work.

This is part of the Doubletree Brand “Teaching Kids to CARE”
