For 33 years, northern Nevada has shown up with heart for the annual Share Your Christmas Drive-By Food and Fund Drive. But this year, the need is greater than ever. So, we’re asking our community to rise to the challenge like never before.
For the first time ever, we’ve set a goal: 1 MILLION MEALS.
That’s food and funds collected across four locations in just 12 hours – to feed families through the holidays and into the new year.
Donate at any of our four drop-off locations:
📍 Reno – Grand Sierra Resort (See details below on our NEW LOCATION at GSR)
📍 Carson City – Governor’s Mansion
📍 Minden – Carson Valley Inn
📍 Fernley – Raley’s
This is the easiest food drive to participate in because we won’t even ask you to get out of your car. Drive up, pop the trunk or let us know where the food is, and our helpful volunteers will unload it for you! Drop off your non-perishable, non-expired food donations at any of the four collection locations.
❗IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RENO DONORS:
Our Grand Sierra collection site has moved! We’ll be in the parking lot where the old RV park was located, right behind the building that was the store. Enter off of Greg and Telegraph for your most direct route to our new location.
All donations will go directly to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, where they will be made available to the entire network of 155 partner agencies! Plus, Corwin Automotive Group will TRIPLE your generosity with a two-to-one match for monetary donations to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada!
