Thunder Valley Casino Resort to Distribute 500 Meals To Sacramento Families

WHAT: The United Auburn Indian Community Tribal Council and the Executive Team of Thunder Valley Casino Resort are celebrating the holiday season by delivering over two tons of food to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 at the Food Bank’s Saca Community Learning Center.

The donation includes 500 turkeys and hams, 500 cans of cranberry sauce, 500 cans of yams, 500 cans of green beans, 500 boxes of stuffing mix, 500 gravy mixes and 500 apple and pumpkin pies. Thunder Valley’s donation is enough to feed approximately 500 families or 2,000 people this holiday season.

In addition, the executive team also purchased dozens of children’s toys for those in need and Santa Claus will be distributing them to families during the food donation.
