Luxury is a lovely accessory but for many, the notion of luxury is non-existent. That’s why the Four Seasons Austin is hosting a “Pay it Forward” program, which allows guests luxury accommodations in return for community service. The non-profit organizations participating in the hotel’s package include the following:
Four Seasons Austin
Caritas of Austin: Established in 1964, this nonprofit organization provides housing, food, education and employment services to those in need. From its primarily volunteer-operated Community Kitchen, Caritas serves 400 lunch meals a day, six days a week. Four Seasons managers and employees have volunteered in the community kitchen for several years, helping prepare and serve more than 4,000 meals annually. Guests would be able to select this opportunity Monday through Friday, with an approximate time commitment of 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Participants must be at least 13 years old.
Keep Austin Beautiful: Established in 1985, Keep Austin Beautiful’s mission is to clean, beautify and protect the Austin environment through physical improvements and hands-on education. Guests selecting this option would primarily focus on downtown litter removal and beautification projects near Lady Bird Lake. This volunteer opportunity is available seven days a week from approximately 9:00 am to noon, although times may vary depending on project.
