Cypress Creek Hooters employees Cloe Rogge-Gibellino, Jessica Dowling and Jami Lavelle made a special visit to Broward Health Salah Foundation Children’s Hospital on April 8. As part of their Hootie’s Lending Library initiative, they delivered spring themed arts and crafts, 100 children’s books plus meals consisting of boneless wings, salad and desserts.
“Our employees enjoy partnering with our local children’s hospitals year round including Broward Health Salah Foundation Children’s Hospital. We created the Hootie’s Lending Library program to provide books for the kids to read when they are in the hospital and every month we are always adding new books and themed arts and crafts activities for the patients. It is our priority to give back where there is a need. Our kitchen staff, Hooters Girls and managers enjoy the opportunity to prepare the meals for the hospital staff, deliver the books, visit the children and create themed arts and crafts activities for them to do, ” said South Florida Hooters Director of Marketing Kristi Quarles.
Every month the South Florida Hooters restaurants donate more books and meals as part of their community partnership with local hospitals. Hooters has provided Holtz Children’s Hospital, Jackson North Medical Center, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Salah Foundation Children’s Hospital with custom library carts for Hootie’s Lending Library” in the Pediatric ER. Each rolling library cart is filled with books for children of all ages. Every month the restaurant donates hundreds of books. Since 2022, Hootie’s Lending Library has provided over 7,600 books to the local hospitals.
