NOURISH.

An E-Newsletter for Neighbors Served by Food Bank Programs & Partners

We’d love to keep you up-to-date on distribution schedules & changes, special events, and more.  That’s why we’re launching Nourish., a brand new e-newsletter.  Sign up today to join the mailing list.

Explore the Food Bank and Partner Distributions Locator and Calendar for all food resources available to help you meet your food needs.

PLEASE NOTE: Food distributions are not held at the Food Bank’s warehouse. If you are in need of food assistance, we ask that you review the resources listed here or call with questions about locations and schedules for distributions.  We may not be able to accommodate requests for food assistance from those who arrive at the Food Bank warehouse.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/formerly food stamps) is an important program for struggling families, seniors, and others.  The Food Bank of Northern Nevada offers SNAP Outreach to help connect eligible clients to these vital benefits.

If you or someone you know may be eligible for SNAP benefits, our SNAP Outreach staff can help you with:

•    Answering questions about income guidelines and other qualification requirements
•    Helping applicants to fill out and submit their application
•    Conducting the required interview portion of the application process
•    Accepting and verifying required documentation for the application process
•    Requesting information about the status of an application or current SNAP case

The SNAP Outreach team is also available to help fill out your SNAP Application over the phone.

View the SNAP Guidelines Flier for more information.

SNAP Outreach Schedules:

You may bring your completed application to any SNAP Outreach site.  We’ll also be happy to assist you, if needed, in completing the form.
