Nevada County Food And Toy Run

Hi Friends and Riders., There are some changes we have been mandated by the powers that be in the County Government and the Fairgrounds. This is for those of you who have not yet been notified by social media or by Thunder Roads. Please do not show up early at the Eric Rood Center expecting hot coffee, hot chocolate, pastries and camaraderie. The Christian Motorcycle Association, who has been serving this for the last 20+ years, will not be allowed to. ... You are to bring your masks, and to stay on, or close to your bike. I hope that porta pottie breaks are allowed. We will have, masked, ladies walking to you selling our Run Pins. Still only $5.00. We still leave at straight up noon, escorted front and rear by Sherrif’s Deputies and the streets will be blocked off so we don’t have to stop and signs or lights. Please stay in the right hand lane, as the route is not blocked off in the oncoming traffic side. Please do not throw candy! Coming into the Fairgrounds do not enter gate!, that is for the families. We will come in gate 4 as always. Please park your bikes in the parking lot and walk your toys and food in to the Northern Mines Building with the roll up door. You will drop off your toys and food and exit the front roll up door. You will notice that there are no vendors. That is another concession, no pun intended, that we had to make to make the Toy Run a go. After you have left, the families will be let in. We are serving 400+ families this year, and we need for you to keep that in mind. Please, do not contact us with the following, as we have already heard them: Say we are a Farmer’s Market. Say we are, Antifa/peacefull protest/etc. Please share this with everyone you know that might be riding. No matter what we have to give up and not matter how you feel, our cause has always been, the children first. Our cause remains, just. Thank you all. Thom Staser, CEO and Founder Nevada County Food and Toy Run

How about this! Pamela Morey, a Realtor, who started A Bridge of Giving 15 years ago, by herself, gives us a sponsorship check because she thinks we do a good job! Pam, you do a good job and we were happy to know you when you started it! What a community, huh!

Owner Assisted Remodeling just became a sponsor. Let’s hope his daughter grows into her shirt! Thank you!

This is what Don Adams Antenna Satillite Service has collected so far. You can drop off toys with them.

Thank you General Foods of Sacramento for your donation of potatoes!

Let us not forget... the day that shall live in infamy...Pearl Harbor Day, and those who served.

The Toy Run will end at Interfaith Food Ministries on Colfax Ave. and Henderson St. in Grass Valley. We haven’t canceled, just changed the end of The Run. Please pass this along.
