Nonâ€"profit organizations hold bingos, organize Monte Carlo nights, and sell Nevada tickets to raise muchâ€"needed dollars.

"‘If they could pay the full market prices, they wouldn‘t be our clients," she said, noting Halton Helping Hands picks up the difference between the going hourly rate for handyman services and what the clients are able to pay. "All of the clients pay a rate that‘s geared to their income, and we need money to make up the difâ€" ference.
