Carson City Elks Lodge raises more than $9,000 for Night Off The Streets warming shelter
On Jan. 27 Carson City Elks Lodge No. 2177 hosted a fundraiser for Night Off The Streets, Inc. warming shelter. Ticket sales and all proceeds from the silent auction and raffle garnered $7,411 from this worthwhile event.
This was augmented by a Community Investment Program (CIP) grant from the State and National Elks Foundation of $1,548. A local Elk donated an additional $52 to round the grant up to an even $1,600 check as shown in the picture. Total raised was $9,011.
Night Off The Streets, Inc. has run a warming center from November 1st through March 31st since 2017. Its main purpose is to prevent the unhoused suffering from exposure during our harsh winters. In addition, the NOTS volunteers work to direct this population, many of whom are veterans, toward other Carson City services that can aid them in getting off the streets.
