The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act was originally passed into law in 1987 and represented the first significant U.S. federal legislative response to homelessness. The Act authorizes assistance to people experiencing homelessness, including housing interventions and supportive services.

McKinney-Vento Definition of Homelessness

The term "homeless children and youths"—

means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

CodeRED Emergency Alert Managed Account Overview

CodeRED Mobile Alert App Overview

NOTE: CodeRED emergency alerts will not be sent for every fire in Nevada County. They are used when a fire is deemed a serious potential threat to life and property (WARNING) or an immediate threat to life (ORDER). The Nevada County Sheriff's Office is charged with carrying out evacuations countywide. During an active incident, they are in close communication with fire personnel who are on scene. Many factors are considered when determining whether an evacuation WARNING or ORDER is issued such as the size of the fire, rate of spread, number of available suppression resources, wind, temperature, topography, and proximity to residences.

No Guarantee

Monitor local media too. Code Red emergency alerts only work when cell phone towers and telephone lines are working. There is no guarantee you will receive an alert during an emergency.

The Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit provides comprehensive and preventive health care services for children under age 21 who are enrolled in Medicaid. EPSDT is key to ensuring that children and adolescents receive appropriate preventive, dental, mental health and specialty services.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit provides comprehensive and preventive health care services for children under age 21 who are enrolled in Medicaid. EPSDT is key to ensuring that children and adolescents receive appropriate preventive, dental, mental health, and developmental, and specialty services.

Early: Assessing and identifying problems early

Periodic: Checking children's health at periodic, age-appropriate intervals

Screening: Providing physical, mental, developmental, dental, hearing, vision, and other screening tests to detect potential problems

Diagnostic: Performing diagnostic tests to follow up when a risk is identified, and

Treatment: Control, correct or reduce health problems found.

EPSDT Services

States are required to provide comprehensive services and furnish all Medicaid coverable, appropriate, and medically necessary services needed to correct and ameliorate health conditions, based on certain federal guidelines. EPSDT is made up of the following screening, diagnostic, and treatment services:

Screening Services

Comprehensive health and developmental history

Comprehensive unclothed physical exam

Appropriate immunizations (according to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices)

Laboratory tests (including lead toxicity screening

Health Education (anticipatory guidance including child development, healthy lifestyles, and accident and disease prevention)

Vision Services

At a minimum, diagnosis and treatment for defects in vision, including eyeglasses. Vision services must be provided according to a distinct periodicity schedule developed by the state and at other intervals as medically necessary. For additional information visit the Vision and Hearing Screening Services for Children & Adolescents page.

Dental Services

At a minimum, dental services include relief of pain and infections, restoration of teeth, and maintenance of dental health. Dental services may not be limited to emergency services. Each state is required to develop a dental periodicity schedule in consultation with recognized dental organizations involved in child health.

Hearing Services

At a minimum, hearing services include diagnosis and treatment for defects in hearing, including hearing aids. For additional information visit the Vision and Hearing Screening Services for Children & Adolescents page.

Other Necessary Health Care Services

States are required to provide any additional health care services that are coverable under the Federal Medicaid program and found to be medically necessary to treat, correct or reduce illnesses and conditions discovered regardless of whether the service is covered in a state's Medicaid plan. It is the responsibility of states to determine medical necessity on a case-by-case basis.

Diagnostic Services

When a screening examination indicates the need for further evaluation of an individual's health, diagnostic services must be provided. Necessary referrals should be made without delay and there should be follow-up to ensure the enrollee receives a complete diagnostic evaluation. States should develop quality assurance procedures to assure that comprehensive care is provided.

Treatment

Necessary health care services must be made available for treatment of all physical and mental illnesses or conditions discovered by any screening and diagnostic procedures.

State Program Guidelines

State Medicaid agencies are required to:

Inform all Medicaid-eligible individuals under age 21 that EPSDT services are available and of the need for age-appropriate immunizations;

Provide or arrange for the provision of screening services for all children;

Arrange (directly or through referral) for corrective treatment as determined by child health screenings; and

Report EPSDT performance information annually via Form CMS-416.

Periodicity Schedule

Periodicity schedules for periodic screening, vision, and hearing services must be provided at intervals that meet reasonable standards of medical practice. States must consult with recognized medical organizations involved in child health care in developing their schedules. Alternatively, states may elect to use a nationally recognized pediatric periodicity schedule (i.e., Bright Futures ). A separate dental periodicity schedule is also required.

Developmental and Behavioral Screening

Periodic developmental and behavioral screening during early childhood is essential to identify possible delays in growth and development, when steps to address deficits can be most effective. These screenings are required for children enrolled in Medicaid, and are also covered for children enrolled in CHIP. This CMS Fact Sheet describes CMS resources to support states in ensuring enrolled children receive these screenings. Birth to 5: Watch Me Thrive!, a joint effort between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education, provides additional resources to support states, providers and communities to increase developmental and behavioral screening of young children.

Lead Screening

While substantial environmental improvements have been made to reduce exposure to lead, there are still over four million children estimated to reside in housing where they are exposed to lead. Learn more about Medicaid lead screening policy.

EPSDT Strategy Guides to Support States with the Medicaid Benefit for Children and Adolescents

In 1967, Congress introduced the Medicaid benefit for children and adolescents, known as Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT). The goal of this benefit is to ensure that children under the age of 21 who are enrolled in Medicaid receive age-appropriate screening, preventive services, and treatment services that are medically necessary to correct or ameliorate any identified conditions - the right care to the right child at the right time in the right setting. This broad scope supports a comprehensive, high-quality health benefit. States share responsibility for implementing the EPSDT benefit with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. (For more information, see " What You Need to Know about EPSDT.)

As one outcome of a National EPSDT Improvement Workgroup, the Center for Medicaid & CHIP Services is developing a set of strategy guides, each on a specific topic, to support states and their partners as they implement the EPSDT benefit. Each strategy guide identifies specific, doable approaches to improve access, utilization and quality of care for children and adolescents enrolled in Medicaid. Examples of state successes are offered along with web-based links to resources, tools and more in-depth.

The first four guides in the series are:

Annual EPSDT Reporting Using the Form CMS-416

The Form CMS-416 is used by CMS to collect basic information on State Medicaid and CHIP programs to assess the effectiveness of EPSDT services.

Annually, states must provide CMS with the following information:

Number of children provided child health screening service

Number of children referred for corrective treatment

Number of children receiving dental services

State's results in attaining goals set under section 1905(r) of the Social Security Act.

Form CMS-416 and instructions

To report data prior to FFY 2020 (Oct. 1, 2019 - Sept. 30, 2020) or to request a 508-version of the form, please email EPSDT@cms.hhs.gov.

Additional resources for reporting include:

National EPSDT Improvement Workgroup

In December 2010, CMS convened a National EPSDT Improvement Workgroup that included state representatives, children's health providers, consumer representatives, and other experts in the areas of maternal and child health, Medicaid, and data analysis. The members of the group will help CMS identify the most critical areas for improvement of EPSDT. The group, which meets periodically throughout the year, will also discuss steps that the federal government might undertake in partnership with states and others to both increase the number of children accessing services, and improve the quality of the data reporting that enables a better understanding how effective HHS is putting EPSDT to work for children.

The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:

People who generally make $67,000 or less

Persons with disabilities; and

The IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals.

The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:

People who generally make $64,000 or less

Persons with disabilities; and

Limited English-speaking taxpayers

In addition to VITA, the TCE program offers free tax help, particularly for those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.

While the IRS manages the VITA and TCE programs, the VITA/TCE sites are operated by IRS partners and staffed by volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.

VITA/TCE services are not only free, they are also a reliable and trusted source for preparing tax returns. All VITA/TCE volunteers who prepare returns must take and pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards. This training includes maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all taxpayer information. In addition to requiring volunteers to certify their knowledge of the tax laws, the IRS requires a quality review check for every return prepared at a VITA/TCE site prior to filing. Each filing season, tens of thousands of dedicated VITA/TCE volunteers prepare millions of federal and state returns. They also assist taxpayers with the preparation of thousands of Facilitated Self-Assistance returns.

Before your visit

Before going to a VITA or TCE site, see Publication 3676-BPDF for services provided and check out What to bring to ensure you have all the required documents and information our volunteers will need to help you.

Note: Available services can vary at each site due to the availability of volunteers certified with the tax law expertise required for your return.

Some VITA sites offer CAA service to taxpayers along with their VITA program.

Also, visit the FDIC website for information on where to find a bank that can open an account online and how to choose the right account for you.

Find a VITA or TCE site near you

VITA and TCE sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls and other convenient locations across the country. To locate the nearest VITA or TCE site near you, use the VITA Locator Tool or call 800-906-9887.
VITA/TCE Locator Tool
When looking for a TCE site, keep in mind that a majority of the TCE sites are operated by the AARP Foundation's Tax Aide program. To locate the nearest AARP TCE Tax-Aide site between January and April use the AARP Site Locator Tool or call 888-227-7669.
AARP Tax-Aide Site Locator Tool
At select tax sites, taxpayers also have an option to prepare their own basic federal and state tax return for free using web-based tax preparation software with an IRS-certified volunteer to help guide you through the process. This option is only available at locations that list "Self-Prep" in the site listing.

Attention: The locator is updated regularly from February through April.

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) (42 United States Code § 11431-11435) is federal legislation that ensures the educational rights and protections of children and youth experiencing homelessness. It requires all local educational agencies (LEAs) to ensure that homeless students have access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschools, as provided to other children and youth. The McKinney-Vento Act defines LEAs as public school districts, direct-funded and locally funded charter schools, and county offices of education. The McKinney-Vento Act also authorizes the funding for the federal Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program.

About NEO

Started in 2008 by two 19-year-old women, NEO provides New Events & Opportunities to empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices. NEO hosted more than 350 youth events in the community before opening doors to its first youth center in 2015. After five years serving more than 1,000 youth, NEO merged with The Friendship Club in 2020 to become a program under Bright Futures for Youth. The combined organization more effectively meets the needs of youth in the area while also leveraging and sharing resources.

The 3,700-square-foot NEO Youth Center is in the Litton Building located along with the many other Bright Futures for Youth programs.

There was a growing mental health crisis among students, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services released a survey in 2021 stating that nearly 1 in 5 students had seriously considered attempting suicide in the last 12 months. Increasing mental health literacy is more important than ever.

The path to legal immigration status for refugees, separated families, and potential new citizens is exceedingly complex, fraught with numerous hurdles and frequent changes. Access to affordable legal services continues to fall woefully short of meeting the demand, despite the fact that many are unable to navigate this path on their own and can even face detrimental consequences if they do.

As a result, many immigrants in the U.S. today live in fear and isolation, unable to truly rebuild a sense of home or belonging in the US.

But together, we can help.

California LifeLine provides discounted home phone and cell phone services to qualified households. Only one California LifeLine discounted phone is allowed per household (except for teletypewriter users and for Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program participants). The California LifeLine discounts can only be for the individual’s primary residence. An individual can only have one primary residence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
California LifeLine provides discounted home phone and cell phone services to qualified households. Only one California LifeLine discounted phone is allowed per household (except for teletypewriter users and for Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program participants). The California LifeLine discounts can only be for the individual's primary residence. An individual can only have one primary residence.

Each household must choose to get the discount either on a home phone or on a cell phone, but not on both. Households cannot get the discount from multiple phone companies. Households that do not follow the one discounted service per household rule will lose their discounts, and may be prosecuted by the U.S. government. Receiving multiple discounted phone services violates the California LifeLine Program's rules.

Penalties for violating the California LifeLine Program's rules can include imprisonment, losing the discounts, monetary fines, and being banned from the California LifeLine Program. The California LifeLine Program can also seek repayment of the discounts that should not have been received.

Limitations Effective June 1, 2017
30 Day Enrollment Request Freeze for Wireless Telephone Service
The limitation requires a consumer who submitted an enrollment request, in an attempt to receive California LifeLine wireless telephone services, to wait a maximum of 30 days to submit another enrollment request to another service provider. This restricts consumers' ability to submit enrollment requests for California LifeLine wireless telephone services. The 30-day clock for the enrollment request freeze duration starts when the California LifeLine Administrator (Administrator) generates an application packet for a consumer or confirms that the request is an inter-carrier transfer request. The CPUC adopted three types of activities that would stop the enrollment request freeze duration, which are as follows:

The Administrator sends the final eligibility decision to the consumer;

The consumer or California LifeLine service provider cancels the enrollment request; and

30 days have passed since the Administrator generated the application packet or confirmed that the request is an inter-carrier transfer request.

As soon as one of these three activities occurs, the 30-day clock stops for the particular enrollment request. The consumer may then submit another enrollment request for California LifeLine wireless telephone services. A consumer cannot have multiple enrollment requests for California LifeLine wireless telephone services going at the same time.

How to Cancel an Enrollment Request

A consumer can independently cancel an enrollment request by contacting the Administrator. The phone company can also cancel an enrollment request.

How to Contact the Administrator
Consumers can contact the Administrator by phone or going online at www.californialifeline.com. For the Administrator's phone numbers, go to California LifeLine Contacts.

Types of Discounts Available

Discounted home phone services available to California LifeLine participants may include the following:

Specific Support Amount Effective January 1, 2024 - Up to $19.00

Monthly flat rate service discount of up to $19.00*

Monthly cell phone service discount of up to $19.00

Service connection discount of up to $39

Service conversion discount for home phone services of up to $39

Free from paying the public purpose program surcharges, CPUC's user fee, federal excise tax, local franchise taxes, and State 911 tax associated with your phone service

Discounts on two telephone lines if you use a teletypewriter (TTY) or are part of the Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program. If you use a TTY, you must have immediate and continuous access to it. If the Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program did not give you other proof, provide a copy of a medical certificate indicating your need for a TTY is required to receive the discount on the second home phone line.

*Does not account for Extended Area Service rates, which provides a higher level of support.

Is California LifeLine Right For You?

There are two ways to qualify for the California LifeLine Program. You may qualify for California LifeLine via Program-Based OR Income-Based. Documentation of proof of eligibility is required. Submit COPIES of proof of eligibility with the completed and signed application. Make sure that your signature is very clear and legible.

1) Program-Based Qualification Method:

You can qualify for California LifeLine if you or another person in your household is enrolled in any one of these qualifying public assistance programs:

Medicaid/Medi-Cal

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Federal Public Housing Assistance or Section 8

CalFresh, Food Stamps or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

National School Lunch Program (NSL)

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)

Stanislaus County Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (StanWORKs)

Welfare-to-Work (WTW)

Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN)

Tribal TANF

Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance

Head Start Income Eligible (Tribal Only)

Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations

Federal Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit Program

2)Income-Based Qualification Method:

You can qualify for California LifeLine if your household's total annual gross income is at or less than these annual income limits:

Documentation is required to show your household's total annual gross income meets the annual income limits if you are qualifying by Income-Based. A household's total annual gross income consists of money received BEFORE TAXES by everyone in your household (adults and children), from whatever source derived, whether taxable or non-taxable, including, but not limited to: wages, salaries, interest, dividends, alimony and child support, grants, gifts, allowances, stipends, lottery winnings, inheritances, worker's compensation, unemployment and public assistance benefits, social security payments, pensions, rental income, income from self-employment, and cash payments from other sources, and all employment-related, non-cash income.

Application Process

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW APPLICANTS

Beginning July 1, 2009, new applicants for the California LifeLine Program must be approved before the California LifeLine discounts are received. If you apply to be in California LifeLine, you will pay the regular rates for basic home phone service until your application is approved. Please be sure to ask the telephone company what they are so you will be aware of these rates and fees.

To help you pay the up-front costs of establishing your home phone service like the service installation/connection fee, service conversion fee, and deposits, you can request to be on an interest-free payment plan. This will spread out your payments in more manageable amounts while you wait for your eligibility to be approved for California LifeLine. Payment plans can vary between the different home phone companies.

After being approved by the California LifeLine Administrator you will be refunded the difference between the regular rates and the California LifeLine discounted rates for any applicable monthly service charges, service installation/connection fee, service conversion fee, and deposits for basic home phone service.

You will receive a bill credit with the California LifeLine discounts retroactive to the date your service began or the date you requested to be enrolled, whichever is later. If your bill has a net credit balance of $10.00 or more, you may request a refund check from your home phone company. Otherwise, the refund will just be a credit on your account.

Annual Renewal Process

(For current California LifeLine participants only.)

California LifeLine requires all existing California LifeLine customers to renew their participation on an annual basis. Each year, on the consumer's anniversary date, current participants will receive a California LifeLine renewal form in a PINK envelope.

Consumers can simply go online to renew her/his participation at www.californialifeline.com. If a consumer does not renew their participation in California LifeLine, then they will be dropped from the program and lose his/her California LifeLine discounts. Regular home phone rates for basic service will then be charged.

EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTATION OF PROOF OF ELIGIBLITY

Identification card from a qualifying public assistance program

Notice of eligibility or decision letter of participation from a qualifying public assistance program

Front page only of prior year's state (540, 540A, 540 2EZ, 540NR, or 540X), federal (1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040SS, or 1040X), or tribal tax return

Income statements or paycheck stubs for 3 consecutive months within the past 12 months

Statement of benefits from Social Security, Veterans Administration, retirement/pension, Unemployment Compensation, and/or Workmen's Compensation

Alimony and/or child support documents

Other official documents.

IMPORTANT TO MEET DUE DATES

Whether a consumer applies online OR fills out and mails the signed and completed form, he/she must respond by the due date. Consumers can find the due date on the application and renewal forms.

If the consumer submits an incomplete application or renewal form, the consumer will receive a new form.

If the consumer needs new forms, they can call the California LifeLine Administrator for a replacement.

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR DISQUALIFICATION

The consumer does not return the form or register online by the due date.

The form is incomplete.

The consumer is found to be ineligible for California Lifeline.

The form is incorrect (and is not considered correctible).

The consumer did not provide the appropriate documents to prove eligibility.

The person signing up was claimed on someone else's income tax return as a dependent.

The consumer was already receiving the California LifeLine discount, and was not eligible for a second phone line with the California LifeLine discount.

The form did not have the consumer's signature.

POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF DISQUALIFICATION

Not receiving the discounts.

Paying regular rates for basic home phone service.

The consumer may be required to pay a service deposit.

Interest may be charged.

The consumer can still reapply and go through the application process again. The process will start over, and the consumer will have to pay a service conversion fee.

The consumer can also appeal a denial or disqualification by calling the CPUC's Consumer Affairs Branch at 1-800-649-7570.

What is Self-Harm?

For some people, when depression and anxiety lead to a tornado of emotions, they turn to self-harm looking for a release. Self-harm and self-injury are any forms of hurting oneself on purpose. Usually, when people self-harm, they do not do so as a suicide attempt. Rather, they self-harm as a way to release painful emotions. But, no fear. There is help for self-harm.

Types of Self-Harm

Self-harm can crop up differently for everyone. And, the ways people may self-harm extend far beyond the usual references to cutting usually in media. Simply, self-harm is anything and everything someone can do to purposely hurt their body.

Here are some of the most common types of self-injury:

Cutting

Scratching

Burning

Carving words or symbols into the skin

Hitting or punching oneself (including banging one's head or other body parts against another surface)

Piercing the skin with sharp objects such as hairpins

Pulling out hair

Picking at existing wounds

Read on for some healthy coping mechanisms to push through, process, and cope with your emotions.

Text to cool down. If you're dealing with painful emotions, we're here to help. Shoot us a text to connect with a real human and strategize healthy coping mechanisms to manage your emotions. Text CONNECT to 741741 to connect with a real human.

Get creative. Studies show that diving into making art can help people process emotions. So, next time you're feeling like self-harming, grab your sharpie and doodle your worries away. A bonus: you can totally suck at it and still reap the same rewards.

Find your zen. Keeping yourself safe from self-harming is all about finding healthy alternatives to work through the hard stuff. Researchers found taking time to re-center through meditation to be a powerful way to find your cool and calm. Try using an app like Headspace to get on the meditation bandwagon.

Talk to a pro. Self-harm is serious. And, while the intention behind self-harm usually is not death, it can still be dangerous-both physically and emotionally. Talking to someone who can help you find alternatives is incredibly important. Of course, you can start by texting us. Also, consider telling someone you know who can help you connect with a professional.

If you earned less than $64,000 in 2023, contact the Nevada County VITA tax line at 530-265-1727 for assistance with your return. HHSA will be making appointments through April 12th 2024.

Tax credits help working families and their communities thrive; unfortunately, many taxpayers leave them unclaimed annually. This outreach event aims to bring awareness to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a fully refundable credit based on earned income. Your VITA tax credit amount depends on your annual income, marital status, and the number of qualifying children in your household.

This year, the program will operate primarily as a drop-off site. Customers can complete their intake forms, leave their paperwork with staff to complete the return, and come back to review and submit their return.

Customers may even complete the intake form online and send it with their paperwork via e-mail. Some appointment times will be kept available for those who are not comfortable leaving their documents.

If you would like to make arrangements to have your taxes prepared, please contact the Nevada County VITA tax line by phone at 530-265-1727 or by e-mail at EITC@nevadacountyca.gov. Once you have scheduled your time for tax preparation, your documents can be dropped off at Eric Rood Center 950 Maidu Ave Ste 120, Nevada City.

Larger space and more hours for the boutique offers free dresses and formal clothes to middle and high school students for special events
GRASS VALLEY, Calif. - Bright Futures for Youth's Nevada County Cinderella Project - an organization that provides free dresses, tuxedos and other formal clothes for proms and special events to middle and high school students and younger college students - has moved to a space inside Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop at 535 E. Main St. in Grass Valley.

A grand opening is noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24. The celebration includes free food and refreshments. Those attending are encouraged to bring lightly-used formal clothes to donate to the Cinderella Project.

The relocation turns the open-on-occasion boutique into a seven-day retail operation inside one of the most popular thrift stores in Nevada County.

The Cinderella Project ensures cost is not an issue for junior high andhigh school students and younger college students to attend proms and other formal events. At least 100 students receive clothes from the Cinderella Project every year at no cost.

"The Cinderella Project fills a huge need in the community, giving teens an opportunity to enjoy and experience special events like a high school prom or a homecoming dance," said Jennifer Singer, Executive Director of Bright Futures for Youth. The nonprofit took over the Cinderella Project in early 2022. "The Cinderella Project is so much more than a clothes boutique. We help young people dream and make a lifetime of memories."

The higher-profile location inside Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop allows the Cinderella Project to expand hours and provides more space - and will create synergy between the organizations. Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop features a range of donated items, from books and clothes to toys.

Sammie's Nifty Thrifty is operated by Sammie's Friends, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that operates the Nevada County Animal Shelter. Its mission includes providing medical care for the animals at the Nevada County Animal Shelter, making them adoptable and supporting other disadvantaged animals in Nevada County that without help would continue to suffer or would be euthanized.

"The Cinderella Project - Sammie's Friends partnership will benefit both organizations, customers and the community," said Fran Cole, Executive Director of Sammie's Friends. "We will each bring new customers to our respective organizations, and benefit from new supporters."

The Cinderella Project - has been open just a few days every month at its Nevada City space - will now be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday at Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop.

Community members can donate lightly used formal clothes, from dresses, suits and shoes to other accessories. Donation hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday at the thrift shop.

Young people who find formal clothes at the Cinderella Project are encouraged to return them, if they are not likely to wear them in the future. The pay-it-forward practice will help ensure a good selection of clothes.

Individuals and small-business owners, including many retailers in the community, have donated thousands of clothes since the Cinderella Project started in 2010.

The Cinderella Project was established to help high school students and their families get free formal attire, which will still be available at no cost to middle and high school students and younger college students. Older customers can now buy clothes for a nominal price at the Cinderella Project.

"The Cinderella Project is such a forward-looking boutique, reusing clothes and helping students and their families save money," said Nevada County Supervisor Lisa Swarthout and former owner of Mill Street Clothing Co., who is volunteering with the relocation and the opening of the Cinderella Project at Sammie's Nifty Thrift Shop. "The partnership between the Cinderella Project and Sammie's Friends is just the latest example of how nonprofits can work together to expand their reach, generate more money and provide more services."
