Toys for the Holidays


Marriott International believes in making the communities where it does business better places to live, work, and visit. Recently, the company’s Infrastructure & Delivery Shared Services (I&DSS) team, which is part of the Global Technology organization, partnered with Toys for Tots and Maryland-based Bethesda Cares to donate toys and winter essentials to the local community. As part of their volunteer efforts, the team was able to contribute over $1,000 USD worth of toys to Toys for Tots. In addition, they assembled and donated to Bethesda Cares 100 bags filled with essential, personal-care items, including blankets, hand warmers, socks, hats, and toiletries.


Their efforts align directly with Marriott International’s commitment to Nurture Our World, an integral part of the company’s sustainability and social impact platform, Serve 360. In addition, the hours volunteered by this team help the effort to reach an enterprise-wide goal of contributing 15 million hours of volunteer service to support Marriott’s priorities and community engagement strategy.
