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.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
