Harrington Raceway and Casino gathers items for food bank

Approximately 14,000 canned goods were donated to the Food Bank of Delaware as a result of Harrington Raceway and Casino’s 6th annual Boxing Day donation drive.

Large pallet boxes filled with items donated from an estimated 2,800 patrons were taken to the food bank Dec. 27. With an overwhelming response of items donated by community members, this food bank drive is one of the organization’s most successful. Several volunteers pitched in to assist Harrington Raceway and Casino staff with processing and sorting the donations.

"We thank Harrington Raceway and Casino for hosting this wonderful promotion again this year,” said Chad Robinson, Food Bank of Delaware community relations director. “It underscores their strong commitment to helping those in need. The Food Bank of Delaware appreciates their support."
