Community Footprints

gives back to the people

PALM BEACH — The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints
program, organized different activities to support their so-
cial responsibility towards our community. The Ritz-Carl-
ton, Aruba is happy to be part of the food drive in which
68 food baskets were donated to ‘Fundacion Pa Nos Co-
munidad’, freely translated ‘foundation for our commu-
nity’.

All Ritz-Carlton employees participated by buying the
products and preparing the baskets. They also placed a
message in all the baskets for the persons who will receive
them.
December 5th was International Volunteers Day and
on this day the giving ‘Ladies & Gentlemen of The Ritz-
Carlton’ -as the staff is called- under the flag of the Com-
munity Footprints volunteered at different activities. They
visited a total of five different elementary schools with
40 boxes filled with gifts for the children. They also visited
YMCA San Nicolas to celebrate the traditional Sinterklaas
feast with the children. The children received a gift and
also enjoyed a nice dinner during the event.

munity Footprints, is happy with the outcome of 2019. It
