Wild Rose Casino and Hotel in Jefferson recently donated $5,000 in support of a local food bank. Last week, representatives from Wild Rose presented a check to the Greene County Christian Action Resource Center (ARC) Food Bank, which provides no-cost food donations to families in need within Greene County. ARC Director Shirley Haupert says, “We greatly appreciate the donation from Wild Rose. The money will help feed many families in need and ease their food insecurities. Without great partners like the casino, our mission would be much more challenging.” Greene County ARC uses donations like this to provide a week’s worth of food to around 130 Greene County families each month. General Manager Travis Dvorak says, “Shirley Haupert and the ARC team provide a great service to families throughout Greene County. When the idea was brought up, we all enthusiastically agreed to support their mission.” Monetary and non-perishable food donations are accepted year-round at ARC and can be dropped off at 1006 N. Vine St. in Jefferson.
