NORTHWOOD, IOWA— Recently, Boyd Gaming’s Diamond Jo Casino announced a $25,000 donation to Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank – a nonprofit providing emergency food for those in need.
Organized in the fall of 1981, Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank was started as a community project to meet a growing need for food in Northern Iowa. Today the organization feeds more than 2,000 families a month, nearly doubling the amount of food provided since the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are thankful for Diamond Jo Casino’s generosity as we work to feed more people than ever before,” said Carol Clayton, Board of Directors at Harvest Food Bank. “With this generous donation, Boyd Gaming will provide 156,000 pounds of food for the Food Bank, which will cover approximately 2-3 weeks of food for our organization.”
Boyd Gaming is proud to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to giving back to others and making our communities stronger. To learn more about Boyd Gaming’s pledge to its communities, visit caringtheboydway.com.
