You Eat, We Give

Over HUF 11 million were collected towards the end of last year by Marriott International's traditional annual “You Eat, We Give” fundraising campaign. The money has recently been handed over to the non-profit organization 'SOS Children's Villages', which helps children living in state foster care and families living under bad conditions.

In 2019, throughout October and November, three Marriott hotels in Budapest and one located in Kecskemét donated the equivalent of EUR 1 for every lunch and dinner served to guests and visitors to support young people into independent lives and careers.

Part of Marriott’s Europe-wide “World of Opportunity” initiative, the You Eat, We Give promotion aims to tackle youth unemployment by donating to partner charities.

Participating restaurants in Hungary, DSK Wine & Grill (The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest), DNB Budapest (Budapest Marriott Hotel) and Oléo Pazzo Mediterranean Bistro (Courtyard by Marriott Budapest City Center) and Bistorant (Four Points by Sheraton Kecskemét) managed to collect over HUF 11 million.

A statement by Marriott says that they consider it important that children without parents receive the same support as their peers in the family. "We are very proud of this donation and would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our guests for their kind contribution and support!"
