Over eight years, Hilton and the Hilton Global Foundation have partnered with Aurora Foxes - a catering college and training hotel for young adults with learning disabilities. The overall aim of Aurora Foxes is to equip these young adults with life and employability skills they need to be ‘Work Ready’ and ‘Life Ready.’ Through a grant from the Hilton Global Foundation, in April 2022, Aurora Foxes launched the Flying Fox food truck, a mobile catering truck which aims to broaden the skills of the students giving them hands-on experience with outdoor and off-site service and food preparation, hygiene, and storage as well as carry the Aurora Foxes name further. To date, Hilton has hosted over 30 work placements, currently employs 10 Foxes graduates in 8 hotels, and has provided 80+ learning and career growth opportunities for students through the Flying Fox food truck.

Hilton Global Foundation

Hilton operates in areas where the risk of disaster or other catastrophic losses exist. In 2022, Hilton communities were devastated by Hurricane Ian and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Hilton is deeply committed to supporting communities in times of hardship and, in the aftermath of both crises, the Hilton Global Foundation partnered with World Central Kitchen and Project HOPE to provide hot meals and emergency support to those in need.
