Family travelers can give back to local elementary school students through Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s Elementary School Program, Meals that Matter. The program provides local students facing food insecurity with healthy, hearty and nutritious take-home dinners throughout the school year.
“We are honoured to have the opportunity to support a meal period for children that is otherwise not as easily accessible,” commented Adam Laker, general manager, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. “Our team loves being able to get creative with the meal choices to deliver healthy and delicious meals for deserving families in the region.”
The Meals that Matter concept came to life in 2021 after a desire to fill a need meal period limited through existing after-school programs. After the pilot, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver donated more than 1,500 nutritious frozen dinners to Vancouver School Board. The school board then distributed the meals to families within its district.
For this school year, the hotel pledged to donate more than 2,000 dinners with further donations to support in-school nutritional programming. Guests can join the cause by adding an optional $10 donation (or two meal donations) when booking a room on the hotel’s website. Meeting and convention groups can also make a donation.
