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.
