People started lining up at 11 AM for their pantry, which runs on the first and third Friday of the month from 12 noon to 4:30 PM, and on the fourth Saturday of the month, from 1 to 3 PM. Clients may come twice a month. Typical food selections for a family are some meats, fresh milk, juice, cheese, canned goods, some fresh fruit and vegetables, sweets, and packaged goods. It depends on how big your family is. They also have a small clothing pantry here. And just today, they started offering cleaning supplies and toiletries, like body wash, conditioner, toothpaste, sponges, cotton balls, shower poufs, luffah scrubs, make-up remover, glass cleaner, powder cleaner like Ajax, toilet bowel cleaner, and laundry detergent. They were lots to choose from. As clients waited in line, another volunteer brought out chocolates and nuts for them. They provide boxes and bags for the clients, and even push carts so they can wheel the goods to their cars. I was very happy to be a part of this wonderful organization today. Please note that the location can be hard to find. It is in the back, in a converted storage unit of iStorage, along with other small businesses nearby. It is directly to the left of "Buy It For Less" once you get to the storage rows. You can enter the business at an entrance off US 50 immediately to the west of Classy Seconds, or use US 50 to take Brown Street south, then make a right onto Gordon Street. They are in the western row of the businesses in iStorage (left part of the "U"-shaped storage rows). The location is marked incorrectly on Google Maps (they are off by one storage row), but I will correct it today. --------- EDIT: The location has now been updated on Google Maps.

He said I can't charge you for something that was such an easy fix. I was beyond grateful. BUT, just today I took an elderly, memory impaired lady to pick her computer up. We were there before it opened and when the man unlocked the door, he abruptly turned away. I thought that odd, because usually people greet you and say good morning. No biggie, but a little strange. He asked her what she wanted and she wanted to know if her computer was ready to be picked up. He said, "did you get a call?" She said no, she wasn't sure. He asked her name and went to check on it. He loudly, and in a mean tone, told her "it hasn't been touched because you haven't paid for it. Are you paying for the work to be done or taking it back?" She started to explain she wanted it looked at and he said, again, "you need to pay the money!" You either pay or take it and go somewhere else". I was flabbergasted. He proceeded to tell her he's a volunteer and doesn't need to take her being rude to him. (She wasn't at all!) She told him in a nice low keyed voice that he was getting worked up and he was the one being rude. He told her to GET OUT OF MY STORE! She said she has a hard time with memory and he cut her off and said, "I don't want to hear your problems or story of your life. NOW GET OUT. I went to interject as it was clearly getting out of hand and before I got a word out he told me to get out. Both of you leave this store! Then he threatened to call the police. We left but I really wanted him to call the police. Problem was, I was working. I drive a bus for a assisted living facility (she's one of the residents) and didn't have time for filling reports and such. The man's name is LARRY. If anyone knows who to contact to report him, please let me know. This man obviously has mental problems and shouldn't be working with the public.

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/.

Thankfully, a kind gentleman shouted "red tags half off, yellow tags $1". Thank you. That works for me. Then while we were shopping another lady who I assumed was in charge yelled at 2 teen volunteers to stay on task or she would clock them out. It was uncomfortable for me and another shopper and we even talked to each other about it. They should not have been reprimanded in front of customers. Other than that this was a worthy stop.

On the other hand, so many people make it less enjoyable. All the lines were so long that we ran out of time to try everything. Some of the businesses were out of food by the time we got to their booth, despite it still being early (7pm). We started at 5:30 and left by 7:30 with only trying about maybe a half of the businesses due to time and effort. Everyone seemed packed like sardines which was a bummer. Other than that, I love that it goes to a good cause. The food was great and there were a lot of options! Portions were small.

I went here twice, on Thursday, March 28, 2019, and again on Thursday, April 4, 2019…read more This building is the new location for all Salvation Army social services and church services. 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.
