At The Children’s Cabinet, our mission is to keep children safe and families together. We provide programs and services at no charge to youth and their families in our community. We support young children to young adults, so that they can thrive within their schools, their families, and their neighborhoods. There is no wrong door, and we will ensure those who need us are provided the proper resources regardless of their circumstances. Our food pantry is open Monday through Friday and is available to families participating in our programs. We utilize a client-choice shopping model, allowing families to select the items they need most, ensuring they receive the support that best fits their individual circumstances.
If you wish to make a donation outside of our designated hours, kindly reach out to us at 775-420-8630 or via email at [email protected].
When you arrive, please park at our loading dock on the left side of the building. If parking at the loading dock is not possible, you may park in the front of the building.
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
