Carson City Elks Lodge #2177 Donates $2000 to Holiday with a Hero
Organized by Carol Park, the Elks held an open to the public, two-day indoor garage sale at the lodge in March as a fundraiser for Holiday with a Hero. Lodge members donated all items sold and assisted at the event which received excellent support from the community.
Holiday with a Hero is a partnership between the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Carson City Fire Department and the Carson City School District to help underprivileged children in Carson City have a proper Christmas.
The program pairs first responders and other community volunteers with students in need for an annual Christmas shopping experience.
