The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi and its Four Winds Casinos have donated 1,000 Easter baskets to families around southwest Michigan and northern Indiana. Each Easter basket contains a ham, potatoes, green beans, canned corn, and orange bread. Distribution will be coordinated by the Food Bank of Northern Indiana, Feeding America Indiana, and Feeding America Michigan through 14 different food banks in the two states. Tribal Council Chair Matt Wesaw says the Pokagons are “very proud that we can continue our tradition of giving this Easter holiday, despite all of the challenges our community and businesses have faced during the past thirteen months of the pandemic.” The Pokagon Band and its Four Winds Casinos also donated 1,000 food boxes in November for Thanksgiving and in December for Christmas.
