The Yerington IBEW Local 1245 Retirees Club, former employees of NV Energy/SPPCO, presented a $500 Community Fund donation to support two important programs — the Thanksgiving Holiday Community Dinner, which provides hundreds of free meals for seniors and those in need, and God’s Pantry, which distributes household goods not provided by the food bank, such as paper goods, cleaning and hygiene supplies, and pet food (up to four items per car on a monthly basis).
Retirees Sue Bird, Jim Walker, TBird, Alyce Reese, Chris Beck, Gale Smith and Paris Shipley presented the donation to the Community United Methodist Church in Yerington on April 26. The donation was well received.
