In an update Wednesday from Advocates to End Domestic Violence, the organization behind the community s annual summer culinary favorite Taste of Downtown Carson City, the event won t take place on July 18 as volunteers had hoped. However, organizers are working on plans to find a way to make the event happen this year.
The Office of the District Attorney in Carson City is collecting new or used business attire. The clothing collected will be donated to Classy Seconds which, through the work of Advocates to End Domestic Violence, provides free business attire to individuals seeking to enter or re-enter the job market.
Numbers speak volumes: 5,443 survivors, 178,393 nights of safe shelter, 3,640 support groups, 21,840 support group attendees.

This year, Advocates is celebrating its 40th year anniversary, and our community is better because of it.
