For many people in Northern Nevada, the economic times have become difficult, and have left many
without sufficient resources to meet their food needs.
This is not a sit down meal, but an opportunity to help you provide for your family with bread, fresh
fruit, fresh vegetables, dairy, protein (meat, cheese or eggs) and other food items. For most of the
participants that come and participate, it is a major change from most food pantries where they are given
canned food and dry goods and asked a lot of very personal questions to qualify.
Another unique aspect of Hands of Hope Food Bank is that funding for the program comes from all
that participate with a Shared Maintenance Fee (SMF) of $10 per family. The $10 helps cover the
operational costs. This program is definitely NOT another entitlement program supported by tax dollars.
For those struggling with the SMF: we need volunteers and when you volunteer, you qualify for a reduced
SMF fee.
