FOUR SEASONS CELEBRATES WORLD KINDNESS DAY WITH FOOD AT THE HEART
Four Seasons, the world’s leading luxury hospitality company, is embracing its culture of care and personalized service by placing food at the heart of its global celebration of kindness. Beginning on World Kindness Day, November 13, and throughout the festive season, Four Seasons is sparking acts of kindness and inspiring communities to connect and give back.
Guided by the Golden Rule and the company’s Four Seasons for Good program, Four Seasons remains committed to fostering meaningful connections while actively supporting local communities. Building on the success of last year’s World Kindness Day initiative, which raised over USD 350,000 for more than 50 charities worldwide, this year’s theme, Food at the Heart, will see select hotels and resorts offering limited-edition gâteaux and unique culinary experiences to celebrate the brand’s dedication to culinary excellence and kindness. Proceeds from each property’s gâteau and culinary experiences will support non-profits that provide food for those in need.
“Through our global Four Seasons for Good efforts, we strive to build connections that extend beyond our properties, showcasing how even the smallest gestures can have a profound impact,” says Marc Speichert, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Four Seasons. “Kindness is at the heart of every Four Seasons experience, and this World Kindness Day and throughout the festive season, we invite everyone to participate in sharing sweet treats and acts of kindness, inspiring empathy and care in our communities.”
Culinary Celebrations of Kindness
Each act of kindness is designed to inspire others to embrace the spirit of World Kindness Day and the festive season while supporting local organizations that focus on food in the communities Four Seasons serves. Here’s how some Four Seasons hotels and resorts will bring this generosity to life:
