Throughout September, Mövenpick hotels around the world aim to collect 25,000 ‘kilos of kindness’ to help people and families in need
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has announced the return of its ‘Kilo  of Kindness’ campaign – inviting guests to donate at least one kilo of food, clothing or educational  supplies to disadvantaged communities around the world. More than 45 Mövenpick hotels across  Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East are supporting the campaign, which runs throughout the  month of September. Guests and visitors are invited to drop off at least one kilo of supplies at any  participating hotel lobby, which will then be distributed locally by the charities each hotel has  partnered with. 
In Thailand, six Mövenpick hotels and resorts, including Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort  Bangkok, Mövenpick Residences Ekkamai Bangkok, Mövenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok,  Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai, Mövenpick Asara Resort & Spa Hua Hin, and Mövenpick Resort  Bangtao Beach Phuket, are participating in this meaningful campaign. The collected items, such as  clothing, personal hygiene products, books, stationery, toys, and dry food, will be shared with local  communities in need, with a focus on underprivileged children and women.  
The local charities that the hotels have partnered with include, Kru Bannok project in Chiang Mai,  which aims to support youth and teachers in under-served schools across rural Thailand; Baan Nok  Kamin Foundation, a home to orphans, the elderly and those suffering from drug addictions; Bandek  Ramindra School, a home to the blind with multiple disabilities; Women Correctional Institution in  Nakhon Ratchasima; Baan-pa-mark Border Patrol Police School in Prachuap Khiri Khan; and Phuket  Panyanukul School which caters to those with intellectual disabilities and hearing difficulties.
“All of us at Mövenpick and the broader Accor team are delighted to resume our ‘Kilo of Kindness’  campaign following the pause we took last year to focus on supporting our communities through the  pandemic crisis,” said Steven Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, Accor. “One of the passions of  the Mövenpick brand is Mindful Sustainability, which encourages us to ensure that everything we do  is not only good for our guests, but good for the world as well. Sustainability isn’t only about the  environment – it is about caring for employees and for the communities our hotels serve.” 
Now in its sixth year, the ‘Kilo of Kindness’ campaign is timed to honour the United Nations  International Day of Charity on 5th September. In 2019, a record 21,921 kilograms of supplies were  donated via the participating hotels – a figure Mövenpick hopes to surpass with its September 2021  campaign.  
“While each guest is encouraged to donate a ‘Kilo of Kindness’, generosity knows no ideal weight.  Every gram counts and all contributions are welcome and gratefully received,” added Mr. Steven  Taylor. 
Mövenpick is requesting donations of all kinds, with high-priority on items including books, notebooks  and stationery; canned foods such as tuna, soup, fruit, vegetables and concentrated milk; dry foods  like rice, beans, oats, cereals, powdered milk, baby formula, tea and coffee; and clothing and shoes  for adults and children. 
Mövenpick encourages acts of kindness by sharing stories of donations, philanthropy and community  service. Throughout September, guests, fans and followers are invited to spread the word about the  ‘Kilo of Kindness’ campaign, using #KiloOfKindness and #InternationalCharityDay to tweet on  Twitter, post on Facebook or share on Instagram.
