Goodwill of Southern Nevada (Goodwill®), along with the Clark County Fire and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Departments, held their fourth annual Christmas in July Shopping Spree at the Goodwill Blue Diamond Thrift Store. Kids and families served by FEAT: Families for Effective Autism Treatment, Children’s Advocacy Alliance, Hannah’s Closet, Klothes 4 Kids and Real Talk each received a $100 Goodwill gift card for their mid-year holiday themed shopping experience.
“This event was first created to support our community during the middle of the pandemic,” said Rick Neal, president and CEO of Goodwill of Southern Nevada. “While Southern Nevada has worked to rebuild after a global emergency, thousands of families rely on Goodwill to help make ends meet. This tradition is our way of lifting up our neighbors and inviting our community to join us in doing so. Just as we are bringing holiday cheer to scores of Las Vegas kids and families this morning, folks throughout the Las Vegas Valley make a difference every single day by donating to Goodwill.”
One hundred children were paired with Clark County Fire and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police first responders to serve as their shopping partners. Santa Claus arrived in a LVMPD squad car to greet children and kicked off the shopping spree.
