The Freight House District, next to Aces Ballpark in Reno, will be a chief drop-off location for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada this holiday season. On Friday, December 3, the Freight House District, Reno Aces, Reno Bighorns and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada will team-up for a special Food Drive Day. All canned and boxed non-perishable food items will be accepted. Bruno, the Reno Bighorns mascot, will act as Santa Claus and be available for holiday pictures with children at Duffy's Ale House from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Freight House District will offer food and drink specials throughout the day starting at 11 a.m. Ten percent of all food and beverage proceeds will go to the Food Bank to help support needy families this holiday season. Those who donate on December 3 will have the opportunity to win prize packages provided by the Aces and Bighorns. That evening, the Whitney Myer band will play at the Freight House District. The cover charge will be waived until 11 p.m. for everyone donating a food item.

Camp Christmas - RTC's Toyland Express will be parked at the corner of McCarran Boulevard and Kietzke Lane from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, December 3 to collect toys for Camp Christmas.
