Fall tea tickets available for Carson City Holiday with a Hero fundraiser
Uniformed first responders will be serving up tea, food and holiday goodwill at the Carson City Elks Lodge Fall Tea on Sunday, Oct. 14. All proceeds from the tea will go toward providing a proper Christmas to children in need through the Holiday with a Hero program.
The event is from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 515 N. Nevada St.
Meliah Gonzales, a district court bailiff and former police officer, started the organization with her husband, Carson City Sheriff Sgt. Daniel Gonzales.
The program pairs community volunteers with students in need for a $100 Christmas shopping spree at Walmart.
“We love the heck out of these kids for one day,” said Meliah Gonzales of the Holiday with a Hero program’s special day in December.
Seating is limited, and tickets are $20 and available at the Elks Lodge Monday through Friday after 4 p.m.
The Elks Lodge #2177 support veteran and youth programs such as Holiday with a Hero.
