For the staff at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Chattanooga
South/East Ridge, among hotels near Ringgold, GA, providing good
service doesn't stop with the guests -- they extend their reach to
the entire community. In recognition of its excellent work in the
community, the hotel was awarded the Bruce Reed Rally to Serve
Award.
The hotel near Chattanooga, TN was nominated by Bob Dollinger,
Vice President of Operations at 3H Group Hotels, who highlighted
the hotel's involvement in a number of local projects. Last year
marked this hotel's second year working with Habitat for Humanity.
In 2011, staff took part in World Habitat Day, a 6-week long event
series. They also helped in building a home for a woman with
special needs, customizing the space to accommodate her needs and
doing everything from interior wall framing and painting to
building and installing a privacy fence. Forty volunteers from the
Fairfield Inn & Suites Chattanooga South/East Ridge and its
sister properties donated 160 man hours to the project. "The team
believes that working together to give others hope of a better life
strengthens values, appreciation, and establishes an incredible
bond with others," Dollinger says.
Among East Ridge, TN hotels, The Fairfield Inn also participated
in its third Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, raising money for
research, education, screening, and treatment programs for breast
cancer; was a corporate sponsor for the Northwest GA Bank
Foundation Golf Benefit; and made generous donations to local
university sports programs.
While most of the volunteer projects at this hotel are based
within the local community, the staff is also involved with the
Global Soap Project, which takes discarded hotel soap and
reprocesses it into new bars to distribute to populations in need
around the globe.
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Chattanooga South/East Ridge
takes a hands-on approach to community involvement, which played a
large part in its winning the Bruce Reed Rally to Serve Award.
"Anyone can write a check," Dollinger says, "but volunteering is
much more rewarding."
