Project MANA



It’s the time of year for giving. All over the world and even in this small mountain town, there are many families that go hungry every day.  Project MANA is here to help elevate the 1 out of 7 community members who are hungry in the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee area.



Project MANA was founded in 1989 by a local Sierra Nevada College student.  Now it has grown to serve nearly 3,000 individuals.  The mission is simple, reduce the incidence of hunger and its detrimental effects upon individuals, families and the community.  Project MANA is taking this further, they have developed programs designed to alleviate the causes of hunger and promote nutrition through education and awareness. 

By partnering with local grocery stores, vendors and food banks, they are able to redirect perishable food that would otherwise go in the trash.  This food is then delivered to those in need. Nonperishable food is donated from all sources from individuals, grocery stores and food banks.  The last component is simply purchasing food to keep up with the demand and ensure a nutritionally balanced food package.  
  


When it is time to distribute the food, many generous volunteers come in to the picture to sort food, deliver weekly drops, host a food drive or help in the office with administrative work.  It takes a lot to keep this operation in motion and it is thanks to the dedicated people  behind this organization, the less fortunate in our area have somewhere to turn for support.  Their work was honored this year at the Truckee Chamber of Commerce awards with 2017 non-profit organization of the year.

Noel Nights



The Village at Northstar is transforming into a winter holiday wonderland. The tree is up, the ice skating rink is rocking, the shops are full of winter gifts and the restaurants are cooking up delicious meals every day.  



This week is the first of four magical Friday nights in the Northstar Village.  Noel Nights has been a Northstar tradition for years. The Village will be lively with sleigh bells ringing as the one horse open sleigh takes families and lovebirds for a ride around the Village.  The illuminated ice rink is filled with people of all ages and abilities enjoying a favorite winter ice skating pastime while listening to music.  Surrounding the ice rink are open fire pits with s’mores available for roasting and cabana bars open for a hot cocoa, hot toddies or a "Snuggler".  Carolers will be singing holiday tunes as they weave through the excitement.  Be on the lookout for the elves who roam the village in anticipation of Mr. Claus's grand appearance.  Be sure to look in all the nooks and crannies of the village for face painting, gingerbread house decorating and ornament making.  The best part of the night is when Santa arrives and kids of all ages rush to sit on his lap to tell him their Christmas wish.  
   


This Friday is a special night, not only because it is the first day of December and the countdown to Christmas but also the Northstar Tree Lighting Ceremony.  Gather around at 7pm for a group countdown to light the beautiful 26 foot Christmas tree at the foot of the skating rink.
