This year's event yielded an outstanding result of 23,666 pounds of food, which will be distributed to area residents in need this holiday season. The program's cumulative impact, reaching a total of 146,454 pounds of donated food since its inception in 2016, not only highlights the generosity of Fallon's First Responders, but also underscores the exceptional sense of community that makes Fallon the caring and compassionate town that it is.
The department bringing in the most contributions was the Fallon Police Department at 6,506 pounds, with the Churchill County Sheriff's Office a close second at 5,060.
