Get $5 buffet via Seminole Coconut Creek food drive
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek will hold its first Fresh Harvest Food Drive every Tuesday evening from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. in November.
The casino’s Fresh Harvest restaurant is offering dinner for $5 to guests who bring at least five canned or non-perishable food items such as bread, cereal, juice and juice boxes, peanut butter and jelly.
The donated food will be collected and distributed by Feed South Florida, a non-profit organization originally formed as the Daily Bread Food Bank in 1981. Its mission is to feed the needy and educate and engage the community to fight hunger and poverty locally. A fire recently destroyed its Broward warehouse and it relocated to 2501 SW 32 Terrace, in Pembroke Park but since then, more than 3,000 meals have been donated to help replenish what was lost due to smoke and fumes.
Susan Wise, the morning DJ on LITE 101.5 FM, also will be at the casino during the food drive, according to a Coconut Creek news release.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
