Childrens Shopping Spree

The Sierra Nevada Active 20-30 Club's Annual Children's Shopping Spree is an event providing under-privileged children new school clothes. Each child is allotted $100 and assisted by an Active 20-30 member or community volunteer to select and purchase items for the coming school year. In this great economic crisis, we anticipate assisting 100 children, from grades K-12, whose names will be provided by the Family Support Council and Douglas County Social Services. To make this event a success, Sierra Nevada needs to raise $10,000 - your donation is greatly appreciated!

The Shopping Spree will be held Saturday, August 7th at Wal-Mart in S. Carson City.

ACTIVE 20-30 CLUB ASKS COMMUNITY TO JOIN THEM IN DOING “JUST ONE THING” FOR LOCAL CARSON VALLEY SHELTER

Donate today to "Just One Thing" Daily Needs Drive!

MINDEN, NV. (November, 5 2009) – The Sierra Nevada Active 20-30 Club is sponsoring a Daily Needs Drive for the Family Support Council of Douglas County as a part of the Purple Ribbon Coalition’s “Just One Thing” campaign. The Daily Needs Drive will run for two weeks, starting Monday, November 9 through Friday, November 20, 2009.

The Daily Needs Drive is designed to collect items for the Family Support Council and to build up an inventory of those articles that frequently need to be replenished due to wear and tear or loss. Needs range from twin sheet sets and bath towels, to cleaning and paper products, to personal items, such as shampoo and hairspray. A full list of Family Support Council Shelter Needs is listed on the Sierra Nevada Active 20-30 website: www.sierranv2030.org.

“As we start into the Holiday Season, many of us would like to contribute to those less fortunate,” said Jennifer Motti, President, Sierra Nevada Active 20-30 Club. “The ‘Just One Thing’ Daily Needs Drive enables us to come together as a community, to do one small, simple thing, but to make a powerful difference for people that really need it.”

“Family violence affects individuals the whole year through,” said Kristie M. Traver, Executive Director, Family Support Council. “The holidays are a time when we typically think of family, but unfortunately families in the shelter too often go without.”

Members of the community who would like to contribute to the “Just One Thing” Daily Needs Drive may do so by visiting the website to sponsor a portion of these items. You may pledge your donation online at www.sierrav2030.org or needed items may be dropped off at collection boxes at one of the following businesses (tax receipt is available):

~ GE Energy, 1631 Bently Pkwy So, Minden, NV 89423

~ BodyWise Physical Therapy and Fitness, 1667 Lucerne St, Minden, NV 89423

The Family Support Council envisions and works towards ending family violence in our community through providing assistance to victims and preventing violence in family relationships. The Council works towards this mission by offering a 24-hour domestic violence/sexual assault crisis line; emergency shelter; court advocacy; support groups; parenting education classes; community education and outreach; and information and referral services.
