Eagle Valley Middle School takes up collection for needy through Faith, Hope, Love
Students and staff at Eagle Valley Middle School (EVMS) in Carson City took up a collection on behalf of Faith, Hope, Love of Northern Nevada and Northern Nevada HotSpot to provide clothing and other necessary items for those in need, said Northern Nevada HotSpot owner Cassidy Davis, who also coordinates the efforts of Faith, Hope, Love of Northern Nevada.
"We have been so blessed by the Eagle Valley Middle School," Davis said. "They had chosen us to be the organization they collected for."
EVMS collected nearly 4,000 items to be distributed to homeless populations around Northern Nevada, she said.
Davis said she is particularly grateful to Lisa Stocke-Koop, a sixth and eighth-grade Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) teacher at EVMS.
"Thank you Lisa Stocke-Koop and your amazing students for everything," Davis expressed. "She told them (EVMS) all about us."
Davis said her charitable organization received 3,955 items through the efforts of EVMS students and staff. Donations included clothing, linens, blankets, canned food, toys, household items, holiday decorations, a booster seat and even a little girl's bike.
Faith, Hope, Love of Northern Nevada is a charitable effort organized by a group of Northern Nevada families looking to make a difference in their communities by helping those less fortunate, Davis said.
A GoFundMe account has been set up here for monetary donations to the group for help with gas and Christmas items, Davis said.
