Resources & Ways to Give Back

With delays to SNAP benefits caused by the government shutdown, many families and individuals need support accessing food. If you or someone you know needs food, help is now easier to find. Several community organizations are hosting emergency food distribution events to ensure everyone has access to nutritious meals during this challenging time. UWSN will continue sharing nonprofit resources as they become available from our partners. If you or someone you know needs support, we encourage you to attend one of these events. No one in our community should go hungry. Visit Nevada 211 at https://211.org/food or call 2-1-1 for the most up-to-date information. To continue the conversation outside of the monthly Nonprofit Connection Call, UWSN is launching the UWSN's Nonprofit Connection LinkedIn Group. This space will serve as a community forum where you can post resources and updates about your programs. Join here. Together, we can make sure every neighbor has the food they need. Resources below are effective 11/7/25 - resource availability may change.
