It is more like a family setting for Bingo and we have helped a lot of people in the community. We have helped Save N Sober every year. Children's cancer every year and our locals in trouble getting things like clothes, firewood for heat, food for Christmas and finding an entire Christmas for a family of 5 and another family of 7. We have helped the school out on other occasions as well with sports. And helped fire victims. We also have put on annual Easter Egg Hunts and Halloween trunk or treats. Everything we've done has been a hit. I just wish the community would get more involved in volunteering.

This location used to be a Greater Nevada Credit Union with drive-thru, and the old sign for them is still there. This Salvation Army Corps Community Center used to be at 661 Colorado Street, but they moved a few years ago. They are still trying to sell their Colorado Street location. Please note, their Thrift Store (now called the Family Store) is located at 3320 Research Way, next to Maverik, off of East College Parkway. The Thrift Store used to be on East Winnie Lane, before they outgrew that location. Please also note that these two new addresses have not been updated on their website or Facebook page. The were not also updated on their Yelp pages, until I created them, today and last week. I guess they are not good at doing that. I hope Yelp believes me and approves this new page. The entry for the food pantry and other family services is off S. Harbin Avenue. For youth services only, you have to use the doors in front, on East 2nd Street. There is also a church, which has service on Sundays at 10:45 AM. The woman who runs the food pantry is on leave, so a cleaner is filling in for her the next month or so. so things are a little disorganized, as the fill in does not want to disturb the folders on the desk of the regular employees. So the forms I gave her the week before can no longer be found, and I had to complete a new form. Their food pantry is self-service and small, mostly non-perishable goods, since they are stored on shelves in an office. I did grab a bunch of green bananas though. They also have items like conditioner, medicine, and hand sanitizer. So you fill up one bag with whatever you need, subject to the limits they have written on each shelf. They also have a regular refrigerator for some items like milk, yogurt, and limited fresh vegetables. Few people go there, at least there has never been a line when I went. I am not sure why. Someone told me this is Carson City, so there is rarely much of a line, like in my former home of the San Francisco Bay Area. The rules listed are you can go once a week, and they limit you to one bag of items of your choosing, But the woman there said those rules are not enforced. Nevertheless, please take only what you need. They do have fresh meats and vegetables on Wednesday from 1-2:30 PM, but I have not gone yet. The employee said there are all sort of trucks in the parking lot that line up to give away fresh food that day. The hours for the regular food pantry are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 AM to 12 noon, and 1 PM to 2:30 PM. Services require a card, which they issue to you after you provide ID, proof of residence, and proof of income, and fill out a short application. Parking was easy, as they have a big lot.

Some other items , like furniture are way too high. The only discount day (Thursday) is for seniors. Even then, there's still some things that aren't discounted for seniors so ask ahead. The customer service could be improved. They do have a back patio area with more stuff. I learned the hard way, they lock the door after a certain time. Me and another customer were confused, tried knocking on the door. No answer, made our way to a side door. No apology from staff, more annoyed that we were outside. I do appreciate that at least they have a return for store credit, policy on electronics (7 days ) With it being such a small space, perhaps some better pricing and discount days would help with sales and make room for more donations. Anywho, that's my 2 cents... happy thrifting.

I wanted to make a Yelp event from this info even though I do not have any pets myself. The office is the national headquarters for all their outlets in the U.S. It is on the second floor of an office building on West King Street, called King 400, in Carson City. Most of the offices here are state offices, such as the Department of Agriculture. As I entered the suite, there was a large open area with offices around it. There was a small customer sitting area right at the entrance and a display case. A woman there walking around seemed to ignore me, but I think she was just a volunteer. A few moments later, the main employee (director?) came out. She explained what they do and the programs they have. They supply food pantries all over the country with free pet food and supplies. There is a map on the wall with pins that mark each of their locations. And the corporate office is here, in Carson City! How lucky am I to be living here?! :-) (They do not do pet adoptions, by the way.) Anyway, the for the event, the first 100 pets (not people) in line whose owners are homeless or low income will get the following for free at the Free Pet Wellness Clinic: pet exam by veterinarian pet vaccinations dog license pet nail trimming voucher for free spaying or neutering (limited supply) pet food pet supplies People start lining up early at 8 AM I was told, so you better get there early of you are interested! Cats must be crated or in a box, and dogs must be on a leash. The following are donating their services: Sierra Veterinary Hospital Timberline Animal Hospital Nevada Humane Society Carson City Crazy Cat Grooming and Canine Academy The employee asked me not to put this as a Yelp event, since she feared this would attract too many people. There are posters for the event, however, at various locations in the city, such as FISH, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the Yelp events I post anyway, so I am not sure if it matters. If people are low income or homeless why not get the word out? So I thanked her as I left, and she said I could get more information about what they do on their website: https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/.

The list on the Carson end included a stop at the new Ace Hardware Store, light grocery shopping at Trader Joes, and a Goodwill drop off. I wasn't looking forward to the drive out to the Goodwill on US 50 (towards Dayton) and decided to give this Goodwill Donation X-Press Center a go. As Gayle was out-of-town, that's usually a good time to go through my "treasures" in privacy, including spreading everything out for sorting. From there, I box things up and head to either Goodwill or St. Gals. My "collection" remains manageable, but I still own too much "stuff". It was a quick, friendly, and easy drop off (with receipt), that made me wonder why I had been driving out towards Mound House for so long. This is a compact donation only store front that requires one to open the door and walk in with the donations. That was no big deal and there was help there if I needed it. Leaving it outside the front door (inside or out of open hours) is what I call "dumping" and a big no no.

I visited during the Christmas holiday, so I found huge Christmas trees filled with ornaments you can't find elsewhere; an incredible selection of celebratory glassware and dishes for entertaining or gifting; lovely and unique decorative items for the home. Joyce's has a well-curated selection of jewelry, of course. One whole case is dedicated to estate jewelry, and they have a sale case as well. Excellent, discerning service. All in all the perfect place to find exactly what you need for entertaining or gift-giving.
