Carson City’s Rice Street Tattoo partners with NAMI to host Joy Drive for local children
For the second year, Carson City’s Rice Street Tattoo will be hosting a Joy Drive through Dec. 21 to help families in need celebrate the holidays.
At Hoffman Plumbing, we believe that everyone deserves to have a happy holiday season filled with joy and laughter. That’s why this year, we are proud to be collecting toys for our local Marine Toys for Tots program through Dec. 19. We know that many families in our community struggle financially and can't afford to provide gifts for their children at Christmastime. By donating a toy or two to this worthy cause, you can help make sure those families have something special under the tree on Christmas morning.
GreenUP!, a non-profit working with businesses to reduce waste, announced that several Green Dining restaurants will host a charity drive in partnership with FISH – Friends In Service Helping, a non-profit that provides wrap-around social services to community members in need.
The charity drive will run from Dec. 15 through Dec. 25.
