First Independent Bank Helping to Collect Barbie Dolls For Northern Nevada Foster Children
Residents of Carson City, and across Northern Nevada, are encouraged to donate a Barbie doll to help brighten the day of a foster child.
The doll collection effort is spearheaded by Hearts for Girls, a project group affiliated with Harvest Fellowship Church, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which started the campaign to help children in foster homes understand they are supported by the greater community. Organizers hope to collect 500 Barbie Dolls.
“We know that some foster children have experienced challenges early in their lives, and as a big supporter of the community, First Independent Bank is proud to help make this donation collection a success,” said Mike Hix, Senior Vice President, Professional and Executive Banking Manager First Independent Bank. First Independent Bank is a division of Western Alliance Bank.
All donated Barbie dolls will be individually wrapped by Hearts for Girls and will include a personalized note written to each female foster child. The wrapped gifts will be given to the Washoe County Foster Care Services, which will handle distribution to deserving girls and families in Northern Nevada.
First Independent Bank has a branch in Carson City at 1818 East College Parkway. The branch is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Each First Independent Bank branch has a donation bin located in the lobby and will be collecting the dolls through May.
