Reno Firefighters Continue Their Holiday Tradition Saturday

Reno Firefighters continue a long tradition Saturday. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., current and retired Reno firefighters and their families will be assembling and delivering holiday food baskets to pre-selected families, continuing a tradition that began more than 80 years ago. Families are selected for the program through referrals from a number of community-based organizations and agencies. This year, Reno firefighters are planning to distribute 150 baskets. The program is traditionally known as the Sam Saibini Christmas Food Basket Program.
