Fighting Poverty, Strengthening Communities

HMSHost is passionate about giving back to the communities in which it operates. HMSHost Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was created with the mission to fight poverty with food, shelter, education and workforce development opportunities.

Our associates reach out every day to the communities in which we operate through food donations, composting and other sustainability initiatives, educational outreach and support, relief effort donations, and other such activities. Through their dedication and passion, they have become a supportive force leading positive change for those in need. But we recognized that HMSHost, as an industry leader in food & beverage for travel venues, can do more. By joining with our partners, we can take these initiatives even further. HMSHost Foundation was created to do just that.

HMSHost Foundation directs charitable investments based on five pillars of giving:

Relieve hunger and promote nutritional wellness through food-related initiatives

Combat homelessness through access to safe housing, furnishings, clothing, and stable employment

Encourage the next generation through access to education and training

Provide an opportunity for financial stability through hospitality industry training and placement

Honor our veterans and their families by supporting programs that meet their needs for food, shelter, medical care, and job training and placement
