The Carson City community held its third annual Holiday Crawl Benefit 2017 on Saturday to raise money for the Holiday with a Hero campaign that gives local homeless children a chance to shop for themselves and family for Christmas. The downtown Carson City event was attended by more than 400 people, up about 100 from last year, organizers say.
In honor of the 10th annual Holiday with a Hero shopping spree for children in need this year, organizers are asking businesses and community members to spend the next 10 weeks helping to make it happen.

Fundraising efforts continue to lag for this year’s Carson City Holiday with a Hero, organizers say. In its 10th year, the project pairs Carson City school children with law enforcement officers, firefighters, members of the U.S. military and public officials.
For those families already struggling and living in poverty, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought disparity to many in Carson City, including school children whose parents may have lost their jobs or have been displaced because of rising rents.
