Interfaith Works Wilkins Avenue Women's Shelter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency which houses 65 women with nowhere else to turn, providing shelter, food, and social services to help them gain independence.
"Providing for those in need of shelter makes sense to us as a hotel company," said Steve Joyce, President and CEO of Choice Hotels International. "Our associates are very excited to help Interfaith Works create a safe and comfortable housing environment for those in need."
This is another way Choice Hotels is contributing to the local Rockville community. In the fall of 2012, Choice Hotels provided support to InterFaith Works Clothing Center, also in partnership with Rebuilding Together, Choice Hotels' signature cause.
"Our associates want to take real action to show how serious we are about supporting the local community and so we're giving them the day away from the office to do just that," continues Joyce.
Teams of Choice Hotels' associates will assist with tasks such as replacing and installing new mattresses, constructing outdoor benches, installing individual cork boards, landscaping, light carpentry work and more.
