Drop off locations announced, item donations sought for Carson City homeless
The number of homeless adults and children continues to rise in Carson City, Nev. From those with mental illness, drug addiction, those that choose they don't want public assistance and remain in the camps, rising costs and shortage of rentals; too the large group that wants the help to get off the streets.
Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH, and other organizations in our area are working on finding long term solutions to the problem. The local winter shelters will be opening on Nov. 1 to get people out of the extreme cold conditions.
