Update on Fernley Donations

We are still hitting the pavement looking for reduced or free supplies to rebuild the interiors of the flooded homes. Monetary donations go the furthest because we can continue to negotiate prices for "bulk" everything.

Here are some of the companies that continue to donate...

D&D Overhead Door of Reno- Offers free garage and door service to victims 775-747-1346 ext.122

Nice "N" Tidy (Specialists in Carpet Upolster Care) -donates air movers to help

on a case-by-case basis.

IGT-Partnering with Northern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross is

providing a dollar-for-dollar match on employee contibutions.

Pioneer Crossing-A local casino, has donated $20,000 to two local foundations.

H & R Block - Their business clients may recieve a copy of last years tax

returns a NO charge. they are at 75 Highway 96A.

This of course, doesn't include all the volunteers who have donated endless hours

of service and dedication to all the ongoing projects.

Now, with all that said, look at the local paper! It is filled with ads for the "flood victims". Discounts here and free inspections there ...Hello people...our flood victims don't have any money left. Residents of Fernley have been living in apts, motels, cars, others living rooms, and churches. They still have basic living expenses and some a have families to support.

Please, just give to the charities available. You can get more information at:

Fernley Flood Housing Donations

Imagine This!!!!!!!!!

Weeks after the devasting levee break in Fernley, the damage is still ongoing for many residents. Families are awaiting some assistance from various government agencies and privately owned companies.

The anxiety is starting to calm as misplaced families are now realizing that they have to start completely over. COMPLETELY! Some have no vehicles, no money, nowhere to live, and are barely hanging on to what jobs they do have.

Donations in any form are accepted! Volunteers are needed to help rebuild the area damaged by the levee break. Monetary donations help pay for housing, clothing, general supplies, transportation, and building materials.

Please remember that donations are tax deductible!

If you know of any large companies, willing to help with the repair of some of the gutted houses, please contact one of the places below! We are seeking building supplies at a reduced cost or FREE!

Here is what is left of some families lifestyles. It was devastating to drive through my old neighborhood!

Many people have come together and volunteered to clean up for weeks. Long hours and hard work continues as people try to salvage what they can. Many donations have come pouring in to feed the misplaced families and hard working volunteers.

John Mariotti has started a campaign to collect toys for all the children. The flood came about after Christmas and many of the children lost their toys. You can contact John Mariotti by email. Or you may call him at:775-575-6077 or 775-338-2412 (cell) .

Rotary Club of Fernley is doing a great job in efforts to clean up and start fund raisers with other local companies. This also includes the Universal TaeKwon-Do, Brian's One Million Acts Of Kindness project, the Red Cross, and many more! The address for the Rotary Club of Fernley is PO Box 408, Fernley NV 89408.
