Free food, health resources, and more this Wednesday in Reno (3 to 6 PM)

Hi :) Since I've had luck in this sub before, thought I'd pop by again to share something helpful happening this week 💙

The Food Bank and a bunch of local partners are hosting a Family Health Festival this Wednesday, May 20 from 3 to 6 PM at the Neil Road Recreation Center (3925 Neil Rd).

It’s basically a one stop spot for free community resources. Depending on the event, that can include:

  • Food distribution
  • Help applying for SNAP or other benefits
  • Health screenings and vaccines
  • Kids and family services
  • Hygiene items and other basics

Not every service is guaranteed, but there’s usually a good mix and it’s all free! If you want more details or to check out the other festivals happening this year, here’s the link:

If you or someone you know could use a little extra support right now, it’s definitely worth stopping by!

Hi :) 💌

Quick reminder that one of the easiest ways to help your neighbors is happening this Saturday, May 9. It’s the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, and participation really is low‑effort.

Grab a bag, toss in some non‑perishable food, and leave it by your mailbox. Your letter carrier picks it up while delivering mail. No sign‑ups, no driving around... We really can't express how easy it is.

Food collected in Reno and Sparks goes straight to the Food Bank, and in many rural communities it stays local with partner pantries.

What to donate if you’re checking the pantry:

  • Non‑perishable items
  • Unopened and not expired
  • No glass or homemade items

If you’ve got food and a mailbox, you’re already most of the way there! 💙

Build Day for CANstruction is starting tomorrow morning at Meadowood Mall. Teams will be jumping in early and turning thousands of cans into large‑scale structures throughout the day. It usually starts off looking a bit chaotic, but by the end, everything comes together in a pretty impressive way!

If you’re around, you can stop by and watch the builds take shape in person. If not, photos will be added online throughout the day so people can follow along and see how everything turns out. People’s Choice voting opens as soon as Build Day begins, so the community gets a say in which structure takes the top spot while also supporting local hunger relief.

A few quick details:

  • $1 equals 1 vote and helps provide 3 meals
  • Structures can be seen at Meadowood Mall or online
  • Voting opens Wednesday, April 29 at 8 AM and closes Monday, May 4 at 6 PM

All the info, photos, and voting details are here: https://www.fbnn.org/canstruction2026/
