Windsor, Ontario, 12/6/2002
Windsor, Ont. - In the spirit of the season, Casino Windsor Cares has sent out cheques worth $2,000 each to 35 community food banks and toy drives for a total donation of $70,000. “We know that area food banks and toy drives are especially in need during the holiday season, and we are happy to make this special donation to help our community,” said Bobby Yee, President and CEO. The holiday season is one of the busiest times for area food banks, and Casino Windsor Cares annually donates to these charities at this time of the year. Casino Windsor's first major donation to food banks in 2000 went to 17 of thesse facilities covering the entire county. Two years later, the need is even greater and the number of charities, including gift and toy drives, has grown to 35. “Casino Windsor Cares is committed to making a significant effort toward meeting the needs of our community food banks and toy drives during this holiday season,” said Bobby. “We ask the entire community to join us and do what you can for the less fortunate at this time of year.” Casino Windsor Cares recently donated to the following organizations: WINDSOR FOOD BANKS Adventist Community Services AIDS Committee of Windsor All Saints Anglican Church Christ Lutheran Church Downtown Mission Drouillard Place Goodfellows Grace Baptist Church Holy Name of Mary/St. Patrick Food Bank St. John’s Anglican Church St. Luke in the Fields Church St. Mary’s Food Cupboard Salvation Army Society of St. Vincent De Paul Trinity Lutheran Church Unemployed Help Centre WELL-COME Centre Windsor Christian Fellowship Windsor Homes Coalition Inc.
