It is a true joy to receive word from hotel management that yet, another donation is “READY FOR PICK-UP!” KEYS has joyfully redistributed over $500,000 in goods, thanks to our contributors, volunteers and community leaders. It is a distinct honor to merit the support of so many prestigious hotels in our Nation’s Capitol. Over the past 10 years, a wide variety of new and gently used contributions of bathrobes, bedding, basic home furnishings, towels, linens, construction materials, drapes, artwork and more have been generously

Four Seasons Hotel

The Hay-Adams

donated to us by members of the Hotel Association of Washington, DC. and other concerned businesses.

These donations have ensured the success of our drive and determination to directly respond to a tremendous need in our community.

Among the Hotel Association’s over 95 members, The Four Seasons Hotel and The Hay-Adams have been vital partners to KEYS growth and success. Since our designation as a 501(3)c in 2005, their consistent generosity of both time and materials continues to meet the basic needs of our city’s homeless services providers. Through massive renovations and ongoing hotel operations by each

of the respective hotels, donations are set aside for KEYS. Hotel management clearly recognizes how the impact of these donations directly care for the most vulnerable.The careful coordination and swift execution of these donations is due, in large part, to the efforts of Jennifer L. Oakes, Project Manager for The Four Seasons Hotel, and Colette Marquez, Director Of Operations for The Hay-Adams. As Founding Members of the Board of Directors for KEYS, their leadership in corporate sustainability and community involvement truly are a gift to KEYS and to the Nation’s Capitol. Collectively, over the past 4 years, the value of their in-kind donations averaged a remarkable $4,000. per month—gradually contributing over $200,000. in needed goods.

We thank The Four Seasons Hotel and The Hay-Adams for their commitment to KEYS and for their contributions in the development of solutions for ending homelessness.

Nearly 40 organizations and agencies providing homeless services receive inventory from KEYS’ network of hospitality and commercial partners. KEYS offers service providers an additional resource for obtaining the material goods and furnishings that are critical in meeting client, residential and community needs. The Family Place has a cheerful way in always welcoming others. Upon visiting, there are little ones in strollers, Parents Meetings happening and there is always a spirited atmosphere about the house. It is a joy for KEYS to partner with The Family Place bringing donations of bedding, blankets, small household

furnishings, 50 Cuisnart coffee makers from a recent donation by the Omni-Shoreham, toys from our partnership with Gifts In Kind International and other basic household goods to meet real life needs. These contributions make a wonderful difference for families in need as they acquire the skills for life and wisdom for parenting.
