Help sought to help furnish new FISH family student housing apartment units in Carson City
The Friends in Service Helping, FISH Student Housing project taking shape in downtown Carson City is moving along on schedule. As of June 2023, the exterior of the two apartment buildings is 95 percent completed with side paneling, roofing, balconies, window installations, paint, and planted trees.
Today, we are getting ready to furnish each of the 36 apartments by the residential move date of late October 2023. Each apartment will come with bedding, bathroom amenities, storage, living room furniture, television, kitchen appliances, and kitchenware.
We are in search of community members and organizations to ‘adopt’ an apartment unit (or more) to help furnish the space so it feels like home for the new families who will move in during their enrollment at Western Nevada College. Each sponsor will have their name engraved on a plaque by each sponsored unit (if requested).
Each unit will be furnished for $2,500. We expect to finish all furnishing purchases by late August 2023 and will be ready to install there soon afterwards.
Room furnishing donations and sponsorships can be made via www.nvfish.com/donate or via check to FISH 138 E. Long Street, Carson City, NV 89706.
