SLT Cancer League opens annual Sees's Candy Store this week

It's time once again for the South Lake Tahoe Cancer League's annual See's Candy Store. Starting December 1, and going until December 24 if supplies last, the community can stop by their shop at the "Y" and help the non-profit group raise the funds needed to help local residents with cancer.

Seven-days-a-week the Cancer League will have their candy store open from noon to 5:00 p.m. in a previously vacant shop next to Beachhut Deli, just a few doors down from Starbucks in the Raley's/KMart center.

There are also a few select businesses in South Lake Tahoe who have volunteered to be vendors for the candy, so look for the See's Candy display.

Many of the popular varieties of candy sell out, so don't wait until Christmas Eve to make your purchase.

The volunteer group will also be selling reusable SLT Cancer League shopping bags.
All the proceeds from the bags will go towards limited financial assistance grants to help patients with every day expenses.

With donations, the South Lake Tahoe Cancer League is able to help patients with active cancer from Glenbrook, Nev., to the El Dorado/Placer County line by providing free transportation to UC Davis, Truckee, Reno, Carson City, Gardnerville and South Lake Tahoe for cancer treatment.
