Backpack Drive 2015Circus Circus Reno employees spent part of July volunteering for the needy by packing more than 80 backpacks for Reno’s impoverished children from preschool through high school. In addition, employees also organized more than 19,000 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.

“It is an important thing for Circus Circus to do for the community because no child should be without anything,” said Ashlee Disston, Sales Manager at Circus Circus. “Getting school supplies is the fun part about going back to school.”

“Without the help of volunteers to pack the boxes, the Food Bank would not be able to get these boxes out for senior citizens in Northern Nevada,” said Kim Butler, Learning and Development Manager for Circus Circus Reno and coordinator for the Food Bank trips.
