Three Rivers Casino Resort Launches Guest Giving Program Supporting Local Nonprofits
FLORENCE, Ore. Three Rivers Casino Resort is making it easier than ever for guests to turn spare change into meaningful community impact through a new charitable giving feature now available on its gaming floor. The resort launched the Everi Cares Giving Module, an award-winning program that allows casino guests to donate the remaining cents from their redeemed gaming vouchers to local charities directly at full-service kiosks. Guests redeem their voucher, select a nonprofit, and the donation is processed instantly. One hundred percent of every dollar donated goes directly to the selected organization.
“This is truly a win-win situation for everyone,” said Rick Ray, director of gaming operations at Three Rivers Casino Resort. “When guests are gaming, they come for entertainment. That small amount of change at the end of a visit might not feel like much on its own, but when our guests come together, it can make a huge difference.”
Initial nonprofit partners for the Florence property include Florence Food Share and the Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County, two long-standing organizations that provide critical services to local families and youth.
As casinos across the country move to cashless gaming environments, the Everi Cares Giving Module offers a user-friendly option for guests who might otherwise leave small voucher balances unredeemed. In addition to supporting community nonprofits, the program helps reduce abandoned vouchers, improves efficiency on the gaming floor, and lowers coin handling costs.
“For years, Three Rivers has supported local charities through our foundation and community partnerships,” said Ray. “This program is just one more way we can give back, and it feels good knowing that something so simple can have such a positive impact.”
“With this support, Florence Food Share will purchase essential food to serve families for six months, stretching every dollar with volunteer power and community match,” said Colin Morgan, executive director of Florence Food Share. “When food donations vary, this funding fills the gap, ensuring local families have consistent access to healthy, culturally appropriate food.”
Food Share provides food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity throughout Western Lane County, while the Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County offers after-school and youth development programs that support academic success, healthy lifestyles, and character development.
This program is now active at ticket redemption kiosks at Three Rivers Casino Resort in Florence. Visit threeriverscasino.com.
