Posted:

Winona, MN (NEWS RELEASE) -The AmericInn Winona is participating with other AmericInn hotels nationwide to support a new military support program called "Hotels For Heroes".

The program provides free hotel stays for wounded U.S. troops and their families while they are receiving treatment.

AmericInn hotels are operating or under development in more than 260 locations in 27 states including the location at 60 Riverview Drive.
 
The "Hotels For Heroes" program is being administered by the Fisher House Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting America's wounded warriors, veterans and their families. The Fisher House will pool donations of AmericInn Easy Rewards points, along with donated points from other participating hotel companies, to provide free accommodations to wounded, injured or ill service members and their families while undergoing treatment at medical centers.
 
AmericInn customers can donate their Easy Rewards points to the "Hotels for Heroes" program by logging into their account and accessing the "redeem" and "donation" tabs.
 
AmericInn has been honored twice by the Department of Defense for its extensive programs of support for members of the military, receiving the "Seven Seals Award" and the "Above and Beyond Award". The company has designated military support and patriotism as a central part of its overall culture, focusing on the theme "AmericInn Cares". During the past year AmericInn launched several major initiatives including preparing and shipping thousands of care packages to military troops stationed overseas plus preparing gift items, tote bags and bicycles for the families of military members.
