Food, toy collections on South Shore

Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and South Tahoe Refuse & Recycling Services are partnering to make giving to Christmas Cheer easier than ever. 

The LTVA’s Drive and Drop for Christmas Cheer takes place Dec. 5-10 from 9am-5pm. Drive through the visitor center parking lot at 3066 Highway 50, South Lake Tahoe to drop donations of food or toys into the bins provided by South Tahoe Refuse. Cash donations should be brought inside the visitor center. 

South Tahoe Refuse is also having its annual Community Holiday Food & Toy Drive Dec. 5-9. Leave canned/packaged food or toys curbside on your regular collection day, or drop off at South Tahoe Refuse, 2140 Ruth Ave., during business hours.

Christmas Cheer feeds more than 1,000 people each month, year-round, and the need for wholesome meals is even more important to families with children who are out of school at the holidays.
