Amador County - Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel is a frequent supporter of the local Interfaith Food Bank through monetary and food donations, but employees have found a new way to support the effort, with grocery bags. When employees discovered that the Food Bank spends hundreds of dollars every month purchasing bags to package food for clients, the employees decided they could do something about that. A large donation box was placed in an employee area and an email went out seeking donations of paper and plastic grocery bags. The box was in place on Friday and by Tuesday morning it was stuffed with bags full of bags and piled almost to the ceiling. “Following the example set by our Tribe of continual community support, our employees have once again shown they will step up to the plate for a community need,” said Jackson Rancheria Marketing Vice President Ron Olivero, adding: “This is yet another example of what we refer to as Rancheria Style.” The collection box will stay in place indefinitely so the Food Bank can spend more of its funds on food rather than bags.
