Northern Nevada Dream Center
The Northern Nevada Dream Center, a Carson City based, volunteer driven, nonprofit organization, is holding its seventh annual Dream Christmas event, a mobile caravan of holiday joy and goodies for those in need.
Dream Center volunteers will be delivering Dream Christmas dinner bags, turkeys, hams, toys, coats, hats and gloves to locations throughout Northern Nevada starting this Saturday, Dec. 4. This year’s sites include:
Dec. 4 • 10 AM • Southgate Apartments (Carson City)
Dec. 4 • 11 AM • University Heights Apartments (Carson City)
Dec. 11 • 10 AM • Wink’s Silver Strike Lanes (Gardnerville)
Dec. 17 • 1-3 PM • Northern Nevada Dream Center (Carson City)
Dec. 18 • 10 AM • Highland at Vista Apartments (Indian Hills)
Dec. 18 • 11 AM • Foothill Garden Apartments (Carson City)
A new addition to this year’s event is the Dream Christmas Toy Drive. So many great organizations provide toys at Christmas time, but over the last two years, we noticed that not all toy needs were being met with the people we serve and decided to fill the gap and help where we can. Donations of new, unwrapped toys for children ages 3-18 can be donated at the following locations through Dec. 20:
Benson’s Feed & Tack
