of Nonviolence shelter had their holidays made happier by Treasure Bay employees who once again teamed with the nonprofit organization. A wide variety of gifts were collected and delivered just in time for the holiday.
Donations included clothing, games, toys, bikes, art and school supplies, as well as household items to support families during the holiday season and beyond. “It was another great year of participation from our crewmembers,” said Joe Thornton, director of human resources. “This will definitely make a big difference in the lives of these families, especially the kids.”
And working to make the holidays more joyful for families of their co-workers,
employees at Boomtown Casino Biloxi and Hollywood Gulf Coast collected gifts for their Holiday Helper trees. Team members who needed assistance during the holidays were eligible to sign up to receive gifts for their children. Members of the executive team, the general manager and employees, donated gifts to give anonymously as a Holiday Helper.
From the Delta to the Gulf Coast, these generous efforts by Mississippi’s casino teams illustrate the industry’s spirit of giving. By stepping up through toy drives, Angel Tree adoptions, Shop With a Cop programs, and more, team members turned holiday lights into lasting smiles for countless children and families.
