In an effort to brighten the Thanksgiving for the area’s
less fortunate Monticello Casino and Raceway employees got together on
November 20th and decided to donate their Shoprite gift cards to the
Federation for the Homeless.
The gift cards were a Thanksgiving gift from management to
the employees of Monticello Casino & Raceway but many showed generosity and
decided that perhaps others might need them more.
“Twenty-four employees opened their hearts, as they so often
do, and donated their gift card to be used by the less fortunate,” said Eileen
Cavanaugh, the director of the facility’s Human Resources Department. “Each
gift card is worth $10.00 and can be used toward Thanksgiving dinner shopping.”
Anyone wishing to participate donate can do so by sending
their donation to Kathy Kreiter, Director, the Federation For The
Homeless by calling 845-194-2604 or by dropping off non-perishable food items
at 9 Monticello Street, Monticello, NY 12701
