“On behalf of Washoe County Senior Services, I would like to thank you both for your very generous donation of $350 to the Meals on Wheels Home Delivered Meal Program,” Senior Services Coordinator Abby Willrich wrote in a letter to the union. “Your continued support of two of Washoe County’s Human Services most visible programs, the annual Fan Drive in partnership with KOLO TV and the Meals on Wheels Program, has proven again to contribute to the success of both programs. Your members’ generosity and focus on improving the lives of many seniors in the community of Washoe County does not go unnoticed. Thank you again to everyone at IBEW Local 1245, from all of us here at Washoe County Senior Services, for making a difference in our Washoe County community with your donation. Your generosity and participation are appreciated by many.”
