ATLANTIC CITY — New Jersey organizations that help feed people in need received a boost thanks to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. In mid-March, Hard Rock, despite being temporarily closed due to COVID-19, donated two truckloads of food to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and Turning Point Day Center for the Homeless.

“Though uncertain and frightening, times of crisis can also inspire incredible acts of kindness,” Community FoodBank posted on its Facebook page. “Our friends at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City have come to our aid, donating a tractor-trailer load of food to help us feed individuals, families, and communities in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
