Truckee Community Christmas drives in motion

The Truckee Community Christmas senior program and toy, food and coat drives are all under way.

Collection bins can be found all over town for toy donations. Coats may be donated at Church of the Mountains in downtown Truckee, Mountain Hardware, Starbucks and Tahoe Forest Church on Hirschdale Road. Food items are being collected at local grocery stores.

Recommended food lists may be found at the collection barrels placed near the front of grocery stores. Look for the red, square Truckee Community Christmas logo, which marks items that directly go to local families in need. Program recipients have been identified by area agencies, schools and churches, and are screened and approved.

To make an online donation, find out where collection bins are located, how to volunteer and more, go online. For questions, call 530-587-2757.
