FREEPORT, MAINE—Innkeepers all over the state of Maine will once again cut their rates by 50 percent in May to support “Hospitality for Habitat”, an annual Maine Innkeepers Association (MEIA) program designed to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity, announced MEIA executive director, Greg Dugal. This year participating innkeepers will reduce their room rates by half between April 25 and May 23, 2012 for any guest willing to write a tax deductible, donation check made out to Habitat for Humanity for $35.
Hospitality for Habitat has raised more than $68,000 to help build homes for deserving Maine families since the program began in 2004. Each year participating innkeepers and their guests have been able to increase the donation made to Habitat for Humanity. In 2011 the association raised $17,000 for the nine Maine chapters of Habitat for Humanity.
“Despite a few years of challenging economic conditions the program continues to be a huge success,” stated Dugal. “Innkeepers and guests both enjoy giving back to Maine communities, knowing that every dollar donated goes directly towards building a home for a Maine family. And, it is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to enjoy some of Maine’s finest properties at greatly reduced rates.”
