CORE Construction has kicked off its fifth annual ‘Christmas in July’ food drive benefiting Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada. CORE has also partnered with local businesses for the first time to increase the number of drop-off sites as well as donations. With the current economy, CORE is expecting less donations this year even though Catholic Charities has seen an increase in demand. Catholic Charities provides about 1,500 free meals every day and recently shut down its two area thrift stores because of operating costs.
From now until Wednesday, July 29, CORE Construction will serve as a drop-off point for any members of the Southern Nevada community who would like to donate canned foods and other non-perishable items to Catholic Charities. The contractor’s office is at 7150 Cascade Valley Court, near the intersection of Tenaya Way and Peak Drive, and open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, contact Carol Browning at (702) 794-0550.
