______________________THE NEED IS GREAT
Recent wildfires across Northern Nevada have destroyed and severely damaged homes and businesses, leaving families facing the difficult process of recovery and rebuilding.
The Hawk Fire alone resulted in 47 homes completely destroyed and another 14 severely damaged, along with significant damage to a large commercial property.
For families who have lost so much, recovery can be a long road. The Wildfire Fund Drive is giving Northern Nevadans an easy way to help their neighbors during that difficult time.
YOUR DONATION STAYS LOCAL
On Friday, KTVN 2 News, Reno Media Group, Atlantis Casino Resort Spa and Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada are joining forces for the Wildfire Fund Drive.
Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada will be on site throughout the event, helping collect donations and assisting with the effort to get resources where they are needed.
The organization works closely with other nonprofit organizations in the community to help coordinate assistance for people facing difficult circumstances.
All money raised through the Wildfire Fund Drive will stay local and go toward helping people affected by the fires.
______________________WHERE TO DONATE
The collection will be set up in the west parking lot of Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, near the Skywalk entrance along South Virginia Street.
Donating is designed to be easy. Drivers can enter the collection area and drop off their donation without having to leave their vehicle.
