Ocean Casino Resort announced Tuesday its “Season of Giving” initiative to spread holiday cheer for those in need during the holidays. In 2023, Ocean’s guests donated over $90,000 in change slips through the “Change for Change” initiative.
Ocean Casino Resort is returning its “Season of Giving” initiative for its fourth year to assist local charities
For its fourth year, Ocean Cares’ “Season of Giving” will recognize and assist local charities impacting multiple causes of community concern. Of course, causes include food insecurity, homelessness, youth support, education, family services, and health and wellness.
“A primary focus for Ocean is giving-back to those most in need in our local community,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort.
“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, monetary donations totaling over $250,000 along with more than 500 team member volunteer hours will comprise Ocean’s CSR efforts. This includes supplementary philanthropic support given through on-property programs, and local events and gift donations from both team members and Ocean guests.
Furthermore, on Dec. 18, Ocean Casino Resort will assemble its talented culinary lineup to collaborate with teens from the Boys & Girls Club for a cooking class where they will prepare and deliver meals to homeless and at-risk youth at the local Atlantic City Covenant House.
Ocean Casino Resort team members have also been donating winter accessories – such as gloves, hats, scarves, and socks – for a drive that benefits organizations assisting the homeless community in Atlantic City: AC Rescue Mission, Adelaide’s Place, and AMVETS Post 911.
