Ocean Casino Resort Spreads Holiday Joy Through Charity Programs

As the festive season approaches, Ocean Casino Resort is once again making an impact on the community with its Season of Giving initiative. Now in its fourth year, this program has become an essential part of Ocean's efforts to support those in need, addressing critical issues such as food insecurity, homelessness, youth support, education, family services, and health and wellness in Atlantic City.

Bill Callahan, the General Manager of Ocean Casino Resort, emphasizes the importance of giving back to the local community. He states, "A primary focus for Ocean is giving-back to those most in need in our local community. Our Season of Giving program caps our year-long charitable efforts and continues to bring joy to both those who participate as well as those it benefits; and that's what the holiday season is all about."

Throughout the year, Ocean has demonstrated its commitment to community service by donating over $250,000 and contributing over 500 volunteer hours from its dedicated team members. These efforts include financial support for various local charities, participation in community events, and the provision of gifts and resources to those facing hardships.

Charitable Initiatives and Community Engagement

One of the highlights of the initiative this year will be a special cooking class on December 18. Ocean's talented culinary team will collaborate with teens from the Boys & Girls Club to prepare and deliver meals for homeless and at-risk youth at the Covenant House in Atlantic City. This hands-on experience not only fosters skills in the youth but also provides essential support to members of the community who are struggling.

In addition to this, team members from Ocean Casino Resort have been busy collecting winter essentials like gloves, socks, and hats for those experiencing homelessness. The donations will benefit local organizations such as Adelaide's Place, AMVETS Post 911, and AC Rescue Mission, which tirelessly support those in need.

Moreover, the resort is fulfilling gift wishes for underprivileged children through a partnership with the Salvation Army, contributing over 300 gifts to bring smiles to children during this joyful period.

Partnering with Local Organizations

This year's Season of Giving program will operate in partnership with a wide array of local charities, ensuring that the initiative reaches multiple facets of community support. Some of the organizations involved include:

• - AC Rescue Mission
• - Adelaide's Place
• - AMVETS Post 911
• - Angels in Motion
• - AtlantiCare Pediatric Unit
• - The Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City
• - South Jersey Field of Dreams
• - The Salvation Army
• - and many more.

By uniting efforts with these organizations, Ocean Casino Resort is not merely offering temporary relief; it aims to address the essential needs of the community and create meaningful change.
