With September marking Hunger Action Month, Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts has been making efforts to raise awareness on food insecurity and assist local food programs like Feeding Westchester to provide much-needed food for the community.
Throughout September, Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts will be lighting its iconic porte cochère orange each night in celebration of Hunger Action Month.
Approximately 38% of households in Westchester are at risk of hunger. Rising cost-of-living, higher grocery prices and federal funding cuts have contributed to this percentage, which represents a 15% increase from two years ago.
