Hilton
is working with Los Angeles County non-profit organization 211 LA to coordinate
the distribution of rooms to people who have been displaced by wildfires, many
of whom have already applied to the nonprofit for accommodation. Individuals
who have not yet applied can complete an application
online.
With
more than 70 years of history in Los Angeles, including serving as the
company’s headquarters for 40 years, Hilton is deeply committed to helping
Angelenos in their time of need.
“All
natural disasters take a toll on our people and communities, and this one
weighs particularly heavy given our long history in California,” said
Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton. “In times like these, our
founder’s belief that hospitality can be a force for good carries even greater
meaning and makes our responsibility to those we serve even more urgent. We are
actively in touch with all hotels in the area and are incredibly grateful to
our team members who have already gone above and beyond to support the
community and each other.”
“During
this time of extreme need, we are, once again, partnering with Hilton to
provide shelter to those displaced from their homes, as well as the courageous
first responders who are relentlessly battling these ongoing wildfires in Los
Angeles County," said Stephen J. Squeri, chairman and CEO, American
Express. “Our thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by this
devastating natural disaster, and we are committed to supporting the immediate
relief and long-term rebuilding efforts in impacted communities.”
Hilton
and American Express have a long history of working together to provide
accommodation to individuals and families when they need it most. Over the last
five years, the companies have worked together to offer more than 2 million
rooms to individuals, families and first responders affected by crises.
In
addition to these efforts, Hilton and The Hilton Global Foundation are also
supporting first responders heroically fighting fires in the Los Angeles area
with contributions to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the
International Association of Fire Fighters Foundation. And Hilton Honors
members can join in relief efforts by donating points to support the American
Red Cross, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and other nonprofit
organizations.
Since
the beginning of this tragedy, thousands of local Hilton team members across 80
Los Angeles-area hotels have been working around the clock to ensure the
continued safety of guests, and in many cases began supporting the community
with discounted hotel rooms almost immediately.
