St. Vincent's Needs Your Help Feeding Thousands of Local Hungry Families!
Demand for food at St. Vincent's Food Pantry, the largest food pantry in northern Nevada, has increased dramtically in recent months.
With your help, we can make sure no one goes hungry. The greatest need at this time is for small items for snack packs, such as: granola bars, peanut butter, peanuts, trail mix, fruit snacks, dried fruit, juice boxes, and individuals servings of soup, noodles, or chips.
Small snacks make a big difference for hungry folks who are cutting corners on food purchases so they can afford things like rent and child care, especially as rising gas prices continue to eat into household budgets.
Food donations can be dropped off at the St. Vincent's Food Pantry, 500 E. Fourth Street, Reno (at the corner of Fourth St. and Valley Rd.) Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The Food Pantry Manager can be reached at 775-786-5266.
