Hi, I am trying to find one of my friends some help. Her name is Michelle, whom is a single mother that is trying to make her and her kids life better but is struggling. She has two twin 10 yr old boys and a 15 yr old daughter. She is going to school with some kind of finanacial help so she can learn a trade and possibly get a job in a year but that doesn't really help the situation right now. I thought it would be nice if you could provide her some food for Thanksgiving for her and her kids. I know she would be really greatful for the help. Could you please email me back or call me so I can try to get some help for her. She doesn't even know what she will do for the kids for Christmas as far as presents go. I have her address that I can give you when you call or email me back.My email address is brasshorse53@yahoo.com or call Brenda at 775-303-6294 here in Reno.Thanks for any help you can give, Brenda

I am Evelyn Mount's step daughter, Eula Johnson. As you already know, she and my father, Leon Mount, began the Community Outreach many years ago when they resided on Grove St. there in Reno. At that time, the program was small, with she and my father personally donating food and money to help people in need. Her Program has grown far beyond all of our expectations over the years largely due to KOLO news channel 8 being there for her year after year. It is people like you and others in Reno NV who make this a special time of year for all of us. Thank you for generosity in making mom's Community Outreach a successful program. I have a renewed admiration and respect for mankind each year due to your greatly appreciated help. Mrs. Eula Johnson

Hi, Is Evelyn Mount serving Thanksgiving dinner for the needy, and if she is, does she need volunteers? I would like to help.
