Gun Lake Casino donates $15K to Kids’ Food Basket
WAYLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The Gun Lake Casino has donated $15,000 to Kids’ Food Basket.
The casino hosted a turkey giveaway on Saturday, passing out 1,500 Thanksgiving turkeys to its GLC Rewards cardholders. It pledged to give a matching donation to Kids’ Food Basket, which opted for monetary donation instead of 1,500 turkeys, the casino said in a Tuesday release.
