Monticello, NY and Queens, NY – Resorts World employees throughout the state stepped up this winter to donate coats to help their communities. Resorts World Catskills (RWC) worked with various United Way locations around the Hudson Valley, while Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) partnered with Sisterhood of Destiny, a non-profit serving the community in Jamaica, Queens, throughout the month of January, holding coat drives in both locations.
“During these cold and grey winter months, our employees answered the call to step in and help brighten the day for families and individuals in need,” said Michelle Stoddart, Vice President of Community Development, Resorts World New York City. “We are grateful to them for making it possible to assist those who might be struggling.”
The coats collected from RWNYC will be distributed to shelters in Southeast Queens, while the coats donated by RWC employees will go to the Hudson Valley’s most vulnerable populations.
