VolunTeaming is now offered under The Ritz-Carlton social responsibility program, Community Footprints. Transcending traditional group activities, VolunTeaming combines teambuilding with volunteer activities that create lasting memories for the participants. Recognizing that many groups want their teambuilding time to make a meaningful contribution, these programs enable guests to be a force for good and feel personally connected to the place that they visit.

Symbol of Hope
Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen has been a symbol of hope and compassion in the Chelsea section of Manhattan since 1982. Through programs and a commitment to combating hunger and homelessness, it provides the support and respect their guests need to become self-sufficient and regain hope for the future. Your group can join the family of volunteers by serving food at lunchtime, a socially responsible activity that not only promotes teamwork among your participants, but provides the homeless a gateway to positive change and reconnection to the broader community.

Please contact your meetings and special events professional for details on how VolunTeaming activities can be matched to group.
