On Thursday, March 21, the Carson City Leisure Hour Club recognized two outstanding community organizations for improving the lives of local residents. Recognized at the club’s dinner meeting were Spirit of Home, represented by founder Ellen Jackson, and English Language Learners In-Home Program, represented by founder Florence Phillips.
Carson City’s Ellen Jackson understands the homeless. She also understands what it takes to reduce homelessness one client at a time. Spirit of Hope, the nonprofit Ms. Jackson manages, was founded in 2010 and has since been dedicated to providing long-term living arrangements for needy populations in Carson City.
The newly elected Board of Supervisors, including Mayor Lori Bagwell, Supervisor Lisa Schuette, Supervisor Mo White, and appointed supervisor Stan Jones, along with Supervisor Stacey Giomi, met for their first board meeting of 2021 on Thursday.
January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and according to Carson City’s Advocates to End Domestic Violence, the best thing you can do is be informed of the warning signs.
