Donate and Help Seniors Over the Holidays

Donate and Help Seniors Over the Holidays

Churchill County Social Services and the Independent Telecommunications Pioneer Association (ITPA) are joining forces this holiday season to collect donations from the community to help pay for utility bills, up to $150 initially, for local homebound seniors who use Meals on Wheels.

Social Services will verify seniors' eligibility and keep all collected information confidential. Seniors who wish to participate will be entered into a raffle, and funds raised will be distributed via raffle among those seniors who elect to participate. 

“The more we raise, the more help we can provide those eligible and less fortunate folks. We can only succeed with businesses and citizens of our community making donations,” said Dawn A. Ballard, ITPA Holiday Coordinator.

Contributions by check should be mailed to ITPA CC Communications, P.O. Box 1390, Fallon, NV 89407. 
Ballard can be reached via phone at (775) 217-8773 or email at [email protected] with any questions.

Donations are being accepted through Dec. 18, 2023.

I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you!

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
