Home2 Suites by Hilton celebrated the one-year anniversary of its launch with the announcement of its official Your2 Hands corporate partner, Mid-South Food Bank. The Mid-South Food Bank’s mission is to fight hunger through the efficient collection and distribution of wholesome food, and through education and advocacy. The Mid-South Food Bank program impacts 200,000 people every year.



Since 2012, the Home2 brand team has participated in the following volunteer efforts:

• Presented a $5,000 donation to the organization which represents the equivalent of 10,000 meals. The team also volunteered and packaged over 3,700 pounds of rice, resulting in approximately 3,000 meals for Mid-South Food Bank.
• Hosted a food drive to support Operation Feed. The campaign raised $2,376 in donations, representing the equivalent of 5,490 meals; in addition to the food donations we collected a total of 7,844 pounds of food, representing the equivalent of 6,275 meals.
• As part of the inaugural Home2 Leadership Meeting in Orlando, FL fifty-six team members volunteered at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.  The team sorted and packed 385 boxes of non-perishable items.   
• Participated in Miles for Meals 5-K Race in an effort to take steps toward a hunger free Mid-South; the Home2 Suites team raised 400 meals.
• Volunteered during the Global Week of Service at the Food Bank and assisted with stocking and organizing the Pantry where food agencies shop for fresh produce, bread and non-perishable items.
