Nevada Community Alliance Receives Support from County Commissioners

Churchill County Commissioners donated $250 to the Nevada Community Alliance on Oct. 2 to support the nonprofit’s upcoming Tricks & Tees Golf Tournament on Oct. 11.

The Alliance, formerly known as Fallon Community Events, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports local veterans and seniors. It began in 2010 as Fallon Lights of Christmas, which grew into a family festival where decorated trees were auctioned as fundraisers. As its efforts expanded beyond holiday events, the group became Fallon Community Events. In 2019, it launched the annual Fallon Armed Forces Day Celebration, held each May.

Looking to the future, the Alliance’s vision is to create a Cozy Home Community, a safe, affordable housing community for veterans, seniors and others in need. Planned tiny homes will range from 650 to 1,200 square feet and incorporate green technology such as solar power and reclaimed water for landscaping in the common areas. The group is seeking donations of funds, building materials, household goods and volunteer support to bring the project to life.

In addition to the golf tournament, the Alliance will host its Christmas Craft Fair on Nov. 14–15 at E.C. Best Elementary School. For more information, visit nevadacommunityalliance.com.
