As
Democrats, we have had a tremendous year, but we must temper our electoral
victories with knowledge that many Nevadans find themselves in difficult
circumstances this holiday season. As the party that has promised to stand up
for working families and those who are suffering from home foreclosures, and the
economic downturn, I am asking you all to step up this week and take part in the
Nevada Democratic Party’s Holiday Food Drive, “Yes We Cans!”
There are many ways you can help. If your local party or club would like to collect and organize canned goods and non-perishable food items, and distribute them to your local food bank of choice, please do so. You may also contribute individually to your food bank of choice.
And of course, you can drop off donations to the Nevada State Democratic Party Headquarters at 1210 South Valley View Blvd, Suite 114, Las Vegas NV 89102.
Donations collected at NSDP Headquarters will be donated to:
Three Square
4190 N. Pecos Rd.
Las Vegas, NV 89115
Phone: 702-644-FOOD (3663)
http://www.threesquare.org/
For Clubs, Local Organizations, and individuals in Washoe County and Greater Nevada, we recommend contacting:
The Food Bank of Northern
Nevada
Donald W. Reynolds Regional Food Distribution Center
550 Italy Drive
McCarran, NV 89434
Phone: 775-331-3663
If you plan to drop food off at the NSDP Headquarters, please do so by noon on Friday, December 19th. Thank you for your support of “Yes We Cans!” When we work together we really can be the change we want to see. I wish the best of Holiday Seasons to you and your families.
