Richmond hotels spread love this season
When we think of Christmas, we think of gettogethers and reunions, feasts, gifts and bonuses. And while these fill our minds and our days, the spirit of the season is also about love, joy, hope and giving. So as we fulfill our holiday duties this season, let’s do our part in spreading the essence of Christmas, especially to the less fortunate.
At Richmonde Hotel Ortigas and Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, you can help make someone’s holiday enjoyable and memorable too with fund-raising programs that will support select charitable institutions.
For the past five years Eastwood Richmonde Hotel has been giving back to the community of Quezon City by way of donations to the Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC), a residential facility that houses abandoned, abused, exploited and orphaned children aged six and below.
Now on its sixth year, Eastwood Richmonde enjoins its guests to extend their love and care to the residents of RSCC through its Angel of Hope program. For every P200 donation, an angel ornament will be displayed at the Christmas Tree of Hope in honor of the donor. All donors will also get a chance to win an overnight stay in the raffl e, plus an assortment of goodies when they play the Help Angel Afriel game. All cash contributions will be endorsed to RSCC to help fund the daily operations of their housing units, including the provision of their medical, educational, psychological and dietary requirements, plus other needs of the children.
Over at Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, refreshing and sweet treats await all kindhearted kin this year. Ongoing all year round for several years already is the Chocolates for Charity at the Lobby Café where for every purchase of the chocolate lollipops (P30 nett/ pc), part of the proceeds from the sale will go to three foundations supported by the hotel, namely, C.R.I.B.S. (Create Responsive Infants By Sharing) Foundation, which nurtures and cares for abandoned babies and sexually abused young girls; Caritas Manila, the lead Catholic agency for social services of the Archdiocese of Manila with programs directed towards the development of marginalized people; and the Bahay Kanlungan ni Maria Domenica, which provides shelter for old, destitute people.
For this holiday season, Richmonde Ortigas launched the Christmas Chari-Tea to raise funds for these non-profit organizations so they can continue with their noble causes. The Chari-Tea is a specially blended frozen strawberry iced tea available all season long at all the restaurant outlets of the hotel for only P185 nett.
As with the lollipops, proceeds from each order of the Chari-Tea will be donated to the hotel’s chosen charities. Cash donations may also be made at the Lobby donation box or at the Front Desk.
Make the Holiday season more meaningful with Richmonde Hotels’ Christmas Charity programs.
