FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Valley seniors were served up warm holiday meals in southeast Fresno after a local casino stepped in to cover critical costs.<\/p>\n
Club One Casino enlisted its culinary team to cook up turkey, ham, potatoes, green beans and yams for residents from the Senior Citizens Village.<\/p>\n
We’re told the annual tradition, dating back nine years, wasn’t going to happen because of cutbacks.<\/p>\n
Then word reached the casino, and within just three days, they took over the Thanksgiving feast prep.<\/p>\n
The team cooked up food for around 140 residents on Thursday, showing these seniors they aren’t alone this holiday.<\/p>\n
“I’m thankful I could put a smile on everybody’s face here,” says Club One Casino Executive Chef Soupy Douangmala.<\/p>\n
“I am so happy that somebody cares that much, and they deserve a lot of praise for that,” says Richard Weedin.<\/p>\n
Some seniors are homebound, so their meals were delivered to their door.<\/p>\n
