LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A big “Thank You” goes out to everyone who stopped by 8NewsNow Thursday to add to our efforts to help the community.
8NewsNow was happy about donations and we had an enormous response.
Thursday was “Founding Day of Care” here on Channel 8, and we collected water bottles, canned food and non-perishable food and clothing. The donations will go to the Three Square Food Bank and the Salvation Army.
Some generous donors wrote checks. Your selfless contributions will be appreciated.
At the end of the day we had to stop loading the truck because the load of water bottles was just too heavy to hold everything.
Thank you, Las Vegas.
We had a lot of help from Deryk Engelland and his family as well as Vegas Golden Knights mascot Chance. Elvis was even there – another mascot that was of great help.
There were many smiling people who drove into our driveway who were happy to help, and their contributions will help many people.
Thank you for your help, Las Vegas, and thanks to everyone at Three Square and the Salvation Army. A big thank you also to our employees who, with a big back and tireless commitment, moved all the donations.
