Pullman Melbourne City Centre, in partnership with hotel owners ERDI and the ERDI Foundation, has raised AU$57,196 for Melbourne homelessness charity 300 Blankets as part of a 12-month fundraising effort.
A series of staff-led events at the hotel raised funds to support 300 Blankets’ flagship programs, including Outreach and Soul Kitchen, which provide food, connection, and essential care to people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
“Our partnership with 300 Blankets is deeply meaningful to our team,” said Pullman Melbourne City Centre General Manager, James Muscat.
“As a hotel, we’re in the business of caring for people, and this partnership gave our team a tangible way to extend that care beyond our hotel.
“It’s been incredibly rewarding to work alongside 300 Blankets and see the real difference our collective effort can make in people’s lives.”
The funds will also support the development of new community programs to ensure long-term, scalable support for those in need.
“The extraordinary efforts of the Pullman Melbourne City Centre team and the generosity of the ERDI Foundation over the past 12 months are, for 300 Blankets, without precedent,” said 300 Blankets President, Peter Royce.
“This partnership has gone beyond fundraising – it’s been about genuine connection and shared purpose. The compassion and commitment shown by the Pullman team has not only boosted our resources but lifted the spirits of our volunteers and the people we serve.”
