Fire Rock Casino Staff Deliver Donated Food to Manuelito Navajo Children's Home

Bags of food gathered from casino guests arrived at the Manuelito Navajo Children's Home in Gallup on March 20, carried there by team members from Navajo Fire Rock Casino as part of the casino's ongoing Pot of Gold Food Drive.

The delivery came after casino staff collected nonperishable donations from guests throughout the week. The Manuelito Navajo Children's Home serves children in need of physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and educational care, providing room, food, clothing, education, family and spiritual training for the children in its care.

The food drive did not end with that delivery. Guests at the casino can still participate by bringing four nonperishable food items. Players Club members who do so will receive $10 in free play during the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Casino team members will then transport any additional items collected to the children's home, where the donations are expected to help provide more meals.

Photos released by Fire Rock show team members standing outside the Manuelito Navajo Children's Home after completing the March 20 delivery, offering a glimpse of the staff who made the trip to the Gallup facility.

The Pot of Gold Food Drive reflects a giving structure built around guest participation: the casino collects what visitors donate, staff deliver it directly, and a Gallup institution serving some of the area's most vulnerable children receives the benefit. For the Manuelito Navajo Children's Home, each bag represents a tangible addition to the meals, clothing and support it works to provide every day.
