Northern Nevada Dream Center to celebrate new Carson City location with open house
The Northern Nevada Dream Center, a faith-based charitable organization serving the area's most needy residents, has moved to a new location at 3579 U.S. Highway 50 East, Suite 211, in the iStorage commercial center.
The non-profit, which provides food, clothing, job skills training, recovery and other supportive services to people in need, is hosting an open house event on Thursday, June 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in celebration of its move into a larger space.
"Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about each of our programs, enjoy a barbecue and there will be a raffle and t-shirts to purchase," said NNDC Executive Director Susan Sorenson.
The NNDC began its search last fall for a larger space out of which to conducts its mostly mobile operations throughout the capital city community. At the time, Sorenson said she had hoped to find a more centralized location in Carson City closer to the populations it serves.
The NNDC previously occupied space on the Redemption Church (formerly Capital Christian Center) property located off Snyder Avenue in Southeast Carson City.
New space was found and the move was made around the first of February 2018, according to the NNDC Facebook page.
A larger space now gives the NNDC the ability to launch larger donation campaigns in the community, Sorenson said, like its First Annual "Hunger Doesn't Take a Vacation" Summer Food Drive going on now through Friday, July 27.
A food donation drop-off has been established at Carson City Toyota and Capital Ford on South Carson Street, Sorenson said, for unexpired and shelf-stable food items.
The donation drive then culminates on Friday, July 27 with a drive-through drop-off held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Carson Mall in conjunction with the property's Car Cruise Night.
Food items most needed for this drive include canned fruit, vegetables and meats, peanut butter and jelly, chilis, stews, macaroni and cheese, rice, pasta, dinner mixes, cereals, oatmeal, spaghetti sauce, boxed potato dishes, soups, muffin and biscuit mixes.
