Thank you, Carson City, for all your donations to the homeless drive! Your generosity has been amazing!

Because of the overwhelming response, we have a lot of items that are not needed at this time, so I am planning a clothing/rummage sale in the near future with all the proceeds going to the Do Drop In Homeless Center to help keep their doors open.

If you have items to donate to the sale, please call me so I can arrange to get them from you. Please don't drop off any more donations to Grocery Outlet.

If you would like to help with the sale, please contact me at 775-885-7639.

The Hats for the Homeless drive is in full swing with new locations for drop off. We are on a major mission to collect hats, gloves and scarfs for the Carson City homeless. If you haven't noticed, it's cold out there.

We are looking to give these items out by Christmas but will keep the drive going through the winter as needed.
