Carson City Walmart Hosts 15th Annual 'Shop With a Hero' Event for Local Children Wednesday
For the 15th year in a row, community heroes will join together with Walmart, Santa Claus, and a group of holiday cheer-filled volunteers to fulfill local children's Christmas wish lists.
What:
On Wednesday, December 19, the Carson City Walmart Supercenter will host the 15th annual “Shop With a Hero” event for local elementary school children. During the celebration, participants will be able to purchase gifts for themselves and their families with assistance from individuals from the Carson City, Douglas, Storey and Lyon County Sheriff’s and Fire Departments, along with local officials and military personnel.
After being driven to the store by a special police escort, attendees will experience a surprise visit from Santa who will arrive via helicopter. They’ll then get a chance to explore the aisles in an effort to find their perfect holiday gifts and work with volunteers from the community to get them wrapped. The day will conclude with a lunch for the children provided by the Carson City Culinary School.
