Gift Cards Only
**UPDATE** November 14, 2018
Due to the overwhelming response from our community, we can no longer store all the items that have been donated at our fire stations for the victims of the Camp Fire (Paradise, CA). At this time, we are asking solely for gift cards that victims can use for groceries, supplies, dining, and other necessities. Please provide by 11/21, from 8am to 5pm, at one of the noted Truckee Meadows Fire Stations. We will deliver the items and gift cards later next week.
TMFPD Station #33, (Foothill) 470 Foothill Road, Reno
TMFPD Station #36, (Arrowcreek) 13500 Thomas Creek Road, Reno
TMFPD Station #37 (Hidden Valley), 3255 Hidden Valley Drive, Reno
TMFPD Station #46 (Spanish Springs), 500 Rockwell Blvd, Spanish Springs
Additionally, we have been informed by agencies in the impacted region that they have been overwhelmed with clothing and hygiene items and are turning people away and encouraging the public to provide gift cards. The generosity of Washoe County residents has been amazing.
