- Joe's love of Boston Cream Pie and its connection to the Omni Parker House in Boston.
- How Omni Hotels got involved with Feeding America and the kick-off ofSay Goodnight to Hunger in June.
- How Omni Hotel employees have supported the program in their communities. Feeding America's local footprint made it a perfect nonprofit match for Omni!
- How the program is geared toward Millennial customers and employees. 45% of Omni employees and 25% of Omni customers are Millennials.
- How being the father of a Millennial (who works at TOMS!) inspired Peter to take the next step in Omni's social responsibility efforts.
- How support for this program began at the very top of the Omni organization.
