Saratoga Casino and Raceway demonstrated
\nits commitment to supporting Shelters of
\nSaratoga and the Saratoga Springs city-wide
\n‘Code Blue’ initiative. The casino has made
\na significant donation to help ‘Code Blue’
\nstock their shelves and prepare for the winter
\nseason.<\/p>\n
Since 1941, Saratoga Casino and Raceway
\nhas been involved in philanthropic and charitable
\nefforts in the local community. Their
\nsupport of Code Blue last year included over
\n200 meals, and this donation to kick start the
\n2015 winter demonstrates a continued commitment
\nof support.<\/p>\n
A wide variety of non-perishable food items
\nwere provided to Code Blue, allowing them
\nto enter the season with stocked shelves.
\nThe Food and Beverage department from the
\ncasino delivered the donation.<\/p>\n
“We have a real passion to feed people here,” said Jennie Jurkiewicz, director of
\nFood and Beverage at Saratoga Casino and
\nRaceway. “When there is a need like this in
\nour community, it is truly heartbreaking. We
\ncouldn’t be happier to assist the Code Blue
\ninitiative.”<\/p>\n
“We are fortunate to live in a community
\nwith such a strong commitment to supporting
\nour neighbors,” said Mike Vild, general
\nmanager of Saratoga Casino and Raceway. “We
\nare proud to be able to provide much needed
\nsupport to Code Blue and we look forward to
\nhelping them feed the homeless in Saratoga
\nSprings.”<\/p>\n
Code Blue was first enacted last year in
\nresponse to an ongoing need to provide safe
\nhaven from extreme weather to the homeless
\npopulation of Saratoga Springs. The initiative
\nwas aided by various local human service
\nagencies who in conjunction with the Saratoga
\nSprings Salvation Army, have designated The
\nSalvation Army on 27 Woodlawn Ave. as the
\nCode Blue headquarters for this upcoming
\nseason. They will be providing warm shelter,
\na meal, cot and blanket to anyone in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
