Churchill County Social Services and the Independent Telecommunications Pioneer Association (ITPA) are joining forces this holiday season to collect donations from the community to help pay for utility bills (up to $150 initially) for local homebound seniors who use Meals on Wheels.
Social Services will verify the eligibility of seniors and keep all collected information confidential. Seniors who wish to participate will be entered into a raffle and donations raised will be distributed via raffle among those seniors who elect to participate.
“The more we raise, the more help we can provide those eligible and less fortunate folks. We can only succeed with businesses and citizens of our community making donations,” said Dawn A. Ballard, ITPA holiday coordinator.
Those wishing to donate should make payment to ITPA and mail to ITPA, CC Communications, P.O. Box 1390, Fallon, NV 89407.
Ballard can be reached via phone at (775)217-8773 or via email at: dawn.ballard@cccomm.co if there are any questions.
Donations accepted through Dec. 18, 2023.
