Dayton Toy Drive Meeting
Wendy Madson of Healthy Communities Coalition will facilitate an open meeting on Monday Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. at the Dayton Community Center at 170 Pike Street for any groups that are or would like to be involved in any community assistance for Dayton during the holidays (gifts, coats, hats, mittens, etc.)
The meeting is open to anyone who would like to be involved in assistance for Dayton residents in need during the holidays. The purpose is for all Dayton groups to come together to share information, to avoid duplication, and to share the work. As the old saying goes, “many hands make light work.”
Dayton businesses, clubs, faith groups, schools, social services, libraries, etc. are all invited to this initial meeting. Please bring your group’s updates about any gift drives, events, or fundraisers related to holiday help to the meeting. For more information about the Nov. 1 meeting, call Wendy Madson at (775) 250-7884.
Stagecoach and Silver Springs Toy Drive Contacts: Stagecoach and Silver Springs toy drive is being organized by Soul’d Out Ministries and Silver Stage Task Force. If you would like to assist with the toy drive for the Stagecoach and Silver Springs communities, please contact Mary Boettcher at (775) 246-0320.
Lyon and Storey List of Holiday Help: Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey is also creating a regional list of any food, clothing, blanket, gift or fuel assistance being offered anywhere in Lyon or Storey Counties during the holidays, and will distribute the completed master list in early November. If you’d like to be added to this list, please call Quest Lakes at 287-7598 or email quest@theodata.com
