Maverick Cares Hosts “Fall Harvest” Giveaway
Charitable event hosted by 13 Maverick Gaming locations to distribute 3,000 meal kits for its annual Fall Harvest giveaway ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Food items include ham or turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
WASHINGTON – As Washingtonians gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, Maverick Cares is honored to host its annual Fall Harvest giveaway to help provide meals to families in need. Since its founding in 2019, employee-led Maverick Cares has hosted regular charitable events at Maverick Gaming properties statewide and engaged in local community partnerships in support of local families.
Families are encouraged to sign up in advance to reserve packs online to pick up at a participating Maverick location on November 21. Kits will be distributed while supplies last. Food items will include: ham, turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Some locations may also distribute additional food item donations from partnering businesses and organizations, such as those partnering with Cadence Academy and dental hygiene kits donated by Smile Dental.
Maverick Cares is thankful for the support and partnership of Smiles Dental Clinic, Cadence Academy, Yakult, Museum of Flight, Waterland Arcade, Strawberry Lanes, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, The Jungle Gym, Cougar Mountain Zoo, and Pump It Up.
“This is a time of year where we must come together and make a special effort to help out those in need,” said Maverick Gaming CEO and co-founder Eric Persson. “We are proud of our local community and grateful for the partnerships that make efforts such as our Fall Harvest event a reality. I want to thank all the local officials, Maverick teammates, partner businesses and organizations for collaborating on this annual program for those in need during the Thanksgiving holiday.”
Maverick Cares is an employee-led project of the team at Maverick Gaming to build a community of partnership everywhere Maverick Gaming operates. Earlier this year, Maverick Cares celebrated its first charitable auction to raise support for its efforts and thanks the community leaders who helped make the event an overwhelming success. In 2022, Maverick Cares distributed holiday meal kits to families in November and December, “back-to-school” packs to kids in August and summer pack giveaways.
“As we gather to express gratitude and share the blessings of the season, let’s remember to step up and support our neighbors in greatest need,” said Dr. Ana Fusu of Smile Dental Clinic and partner of Maverick Cares. “This event brings our community together to create a harvest of kindness and cherished moments. Happy Thanksgiving, where every thankful heart adds to the feast of gratitude!”
Maverick Cares also thanks the local elected leaders who are volunteering their time to help support the event: Senator John Lovick, Representative David Hackney, Representative and Snohomish County Councilmember Sam Low, Shoreline Councilmember Chris Roberts, Tukwila Mayor Allen Ekberg, Councilmember Thomas McLeod, Mountlake Terrace Councilmember Steve Woodard, Yakima City Councilmember Patricia Byers, and Yakima City Councilmember Holly Cousens.
