Gov. leads supply drive for Nev. troops

Gov. Brian Sandoval said Monday that his offices are holding a drive to collect supplies that are difficult for Nevadans serving overseas to get.

"Our fellow Nevadans and Americans are putting themselves in harm's way every day," he said. "Through this drive, we are hoping to send them something to bring home a little closer."

He is looking in particular for donations of DVDs, energy bars, foot powder, razors, instant coffee, chapstick and video games.

Both the Carson City and Las Vegas offices will accept donations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 2.
