Want to support a local nonprofit with your purchase of fireworks this year? Sales of “safe and sane” fireworks are often one of the biggest annual fundraisers for various nonprofits, with sales legally allowed to begin Monday at noon and continue through July 4.
In Citrus Heights, there are a total of 20 licensed fireworks stands this year, according to the city. A purchase from one location may help a local little league, while making that same purchase a few blocks up the street could support police or a local church.
The following is a list of locations and the name of the organization in charge of the stand, as provided by the City Clerk’s office:
