Carson City Elks to hold garage sale Friday and Saturday to benefit Holiday with a Hero
The Carson City Elks Club will hold a charity garage sale this Friday and Saturday to benefit Holiday with a Hero, an annual event that partners local children with law enforcement and emergency responders for a Christmas holiday shopping experience.
The garage sales is Friday, March 8, from 2 to 6 p.m. and Saturday, March 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Carson City Elks Lodge 515 North Nevada Street.
Holiday With a Hero is a program that brings local organizations and individuals together to help underprivileged children in Carson City have a proper Christmas.
Monetary donations are collected and dispersed to designated and prequalified students as Walmart gift cards. Local police, fire, medical and military leaders guide the students through the store to spend their money on gifts for the students and their families. The gifts are then wrapped and sent back to the student's school.
Before the shopping day in December, Holiday with a Hero holds multiple fundraisers, including the garage sale at the Carson City Elks Lodge, to generate funding for the annual shopping day. Go here for more information on Holiday for a Hero and here for the Carson City Elks Club Facebook page.
