The long-standing partners came together at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok on Tuesday 12th May 2020, to launch this ambitious initiative. The hotel’s chefs will bake 300 loaves of raisin bread and 1,000 oatmeal banana cookies every day for 20 consecutive days, to be distributed by SOS. By the end of the project, Marriott and SOS will have delivered a staggering 6,000 loaves of bread and 20,000 cookies – a truly herculean CSR effort!
