Deloitte Hotel & Conference Center Team Gives Back Through The Awareness Project
The team at the Deloitte Hotel & Conference Center recently came together for a powerful day of giving back, volunteering with The Awareness Project, a nonprofit organization rooted in compassion and service.
The Awareness Project was originally started by a former team member who worked as a server in the Market, the property’s main restaurant. Years later, his vision has evolved into a thriving community resource center in Hurst, Texas, offering a pay-what-you-can café, a food pantry, a thrift store, and access to essential services, including housing and job support.
The DU team’s volunteer day supported the organization’s mission of helping those in need through hands-on service and community engagement. From serving food to assisting with operations, the team’s involvement left a meaningful mark.
