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.

He worked with my dad on a range improvement project on our ranch. Funny, enjoyable to be around & work with. Always meant to look him up & spend more time with him. Sad to have missed him.

Even though she was quiet, she still had a knack for making everyone feel seen and heard. Her kindness to me was heartfelt. I'll always remember her passion for rehoming cats and her deep love for arts and crafts. It was a joy to hear her talk about her latest mosaic or stained glass project. My thoughts are with her partner, David, who was such a source of comfort and strength for her, and with her longtime friend, Mary, who continued to bring joy into Christine's life to the very end.Comment publication date: 8/20/25, 12:48 PMComment source: Obituary - Christine Brooke Jensen July 1, 1946-August 8, 2025
