Kind Traveler is a hotel booking organization that helps travelers give money to charity in exchange for discounts from their bills. For instance, when checking in you can donate toward organizations such as the American Red Cross, Second Harvest Food Bank, Marine Mammal Care Center in Los Angeles or Feeding Southern Florida.

The discounts apply with participating hotels such as Virgin Hotels, The Palms Hotel and Spa and the Mondrian in Los Angeles. With the holiday season approaching, and your travels take you to participating hotels, you can join Kind Traveler in making some deserving people experience a more enjoyable season. www.kindtraveler.com
