Rivers Casino Philadelphia sent its team members out today for the fourth annual Rivers Gives Day of Service, and this year, the assignment is hunger.
More than 6,000 employees across Rush Street Gaming’s five Rivers Casino properties, plus the company’s Chicago headquarters, volunteered Tuesday with nonprofit partners in their home markets: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Des Plaines, Illinois, Schenectady, New York, and Portsmouth, Virginia. The company built this year’s event around food insecurity and team member wellness, a shift from last year’s focus on workforce development.
In Philadelphia, that meant Philabundance, which the company describes as one of the region’s largest food banks. Team members for the Pennsylvania retail casino worked at the Philabundance Community Kitchen, packing and sorting fresh meal kits, and wrote greeting cards for the group’s Notes of Sunshine Project, which lands in roughly 4,000 senior food boxes distributed every month.
