The press release below was released late last week and we are excited about rolling out this new initiative to help our associates in their time of need.
YORK, PA, Oct 26, 2023 — Springwood Hospitality, headquartered in York, PA, and renowned for its expertise in developing and managing Hilton and Marriott hotels through award-winning teams, is thrilled to unveil its latest initiative – the Springwood Cares Employee Assistance Fund, scheduled to commence on January 1, 2024. This compassionate fund will provide grants to approved applicants, offering essential financial support to associates and their families in times of unforeseen economic adversity.
Justin Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of Springwood Hospitality, emphasizes the significance of this endeavor, stating, “It is paramount for our company to ensure that our employees have a reliable resource when facing hardships. In light of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and our unwavering commitment to the well-being of our team members, the establishment of the Springwood Cares fund has been a top priority for us.”
Springwood Cares further underscores Springwood Hospitality’s dedication to service and the welfare of its employees. Springwood Hospitality has approximately 200 employees, all of which will be eligible for grants.
The Springwood Cares initiative and grant applications will be administered, reviewed, and validated by America’s Charities, a well-respected 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with four decades of expertise in managing charitable funds. By partnering with America’s Charities, the program guarantees the confidential, tax-free, and expeditious processing of all grant applications through the oversight of a trusted third party.
Springwood Hospitality has generously contributed an initial funding amount to kickstart the Springwood Cares program. Sustainability will be maintained through a combination of contributions from Springwood Hospitality employees and fundraising campaigns. The inaugural fundraising campaign is slated to run from November 1 to November 22, 2023, to further support the program. During the November campaign and subsequent efforts, contributions to the Springwood Cares program will be open to everyone, and a convenient donation link can be accessed on the Springwood Hospitality website. Associates will also have the option to make contributions through payroll deductions. Springwood Hospitality has also paid for set-up and annual fees of the program so that 100% of all donations will directly benefit those associates in need.
Molly Jensen, Vice President further adds, “In addition to demonstrating our commitment to the well-being of our employees, the Springwood Cares program fosters a sense of unity among our team members, empowering them to support and uplift their colleagues, thereby strengthening our internal culture.”
