Parx Casino Gives Free Thanksgiving Meals At Senior Center

BRISTOL, PA — Parx Casino gave out thousands of free meals at the Bristol Township Senior Center on Tuesday, Nov. 23.

The event started at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, with thousands of pre-prepared meals ready to be given to the senior citizens at the center. Seniors who came were also given a weeks supply of meals and soups.

“The Parx Casino and Caring for Friends partnership is a tremendous opportunity to build a legacy of care in our community," said Ron Davis, Parx Casino Director of Diversity and Community Development. "We are thankful to our team members who are always willing to help with outreach to those in need. We celebrate making a difference.”

The casino also donated a $15,000 check to Caring for Friends for all their work in the Bucks County area. The event was a collaboration between the casino and the organization in an effort to combat hunger in the Bucks County area.

"Caring For Friends is grateful to Parx Casino for its generous donation of fifteen thousand dollars, hundreds of hours of volunteer time, and thousands of pounds of food," said Caring For Friends CEO Vince Schiavone.

"With so many people in our area facing hunger, Parx' efforts are helping provide a happier and heartier Thanksgiving dinner not just to the Bucks County seniors here today, but to thousands of neighbors in need in the greater Philadelphia region."
