Hotel Workers Help Less Fortunate

Associates of the Marriott Hartford Downtown, located at 200 Columbus Bvld. in Hartford, recently organized a food drive to benefit the city’s Latino Community Services. Hotel associates collected more than 100 nonperishable food items along with 10 frozen turkeys over a period of two weeks. The donation will help those affected by HIV/AIDS living in the Greater Hartford area.
