Share Your Christmas Food Drive under way in Carson City
Organizers of the 26th annual KTVN Channel 2 News Share Your Christmas Drive-By Food Drive were set up early at the Governor's Mansion, 606 N. Mountain Street in Carson City, on Friday morning, accepting shelf-stable food and cash donations on behalf of Advocates to End Domestic Violence.
AEDV Executive Director Lisa Lee said in years past her organization has been able to raise close to $6,000 and pack full more than two truck loads of donations from the annual Share Your Christmas drive.
Donations to AEDV go to support the basic needs of domestic violence victims, including operation of the shelter, which AEDV has run for four decades.
AEDV was the recipient of donations between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Friday morning. Lee said she enjoys having the event at the Governor's Mansion, because that in and of itself is a big draw for folks.
"It's a thrill to be able to drive right up to the steps of the mansion," she said.
Friends In Service Helping (FISH) will be at the mansion collecting donations on the second shift, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And the Ron Wood Family Resource Center will be the recipient of donations for the third shift, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday.
The Share Your Christmas Drive-By Food Drive will also be at the Carson Valley Inn, 1627 U.S. Highway 395 in Minden, until 6 p.m. Friday evening.
