Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada is helping local families recover after the devastating 2026 Northern Nevada wildfires by providing food assistance, essential household resources, long-term case management, and connections to critical recovery services.

Marie Baxter, Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada, joins Sarah Johns on 2 Plus You Nevada to explain how the organization is responding to families affected by the Bug, Stallion, Hawk and other Northern Nevada fires — and how the community can help through donations and volunteer service.

Catholic Charities plays an important role after the immediate evacuation and shelter response ends. As families return home, the organization can help address food loss, household needs and other challenges that arise during recovery. Its case management work also helps wildfire survivors identify immediate and long-term needs and access available resources.
