With winter approaching, Western Nevada College’s Veterans Resource Center is participating in a donation drive of mostly clothing items for homeless veterans.

Donations can be made at the Veterans Resource Center during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 10. People are encouraged to donate gloves, socks, jackets, blankets, toilet paper, underwear and reading glasses in particular, although all serviceable clothing items will be accepted.

WNC is supporting former WNC Student Veterans Club President Matthew Hodges, now a University of Nevada, Reno student, who developed the effort for a Project Management class project. Donation bins will also be located at the University of Nevada, Reno, on the first floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union, the second floor of the Knowledge Center and the second floor of the Pennington Student Achievement Center.

For more information, contact Hodges at 775-445-9497. Contact the WNC Veterans Resource Center at 775-445-3301; it is located on the third floor of the Cedar Building Room 300.

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
