Every year the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission celebrates Christmas in July. More than a thousand people come down to the shelter for a traditional home-cooked meal.
With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, getting that perfect gift for friends and family and making Christmas dinner, it is often easy to forget about those that can’t afford to eat or buy their children Christmas presents. That's where the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission comes in.
On Monday, The Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission held their annual Christmas in July event for the homeless and needy.
Back in the kitchen of the Olive Garden in Sparks, menu items such as lasagna, soups, and sauces take several hours to cook and are prepared beforehand. When they aren't served, Olive Garden packages the food and sends it on its way to the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission.
