The Food Bank of Northern Nevada (FBNN) says they are starting the Holiday Food Drive Season with a drive-by Holiday Food Drive Kick-Off on Thursday, November 1 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Grand Sierra Resort.
Participants can drive-by the south side of the Grand Sierra Resort off of Mill Street to sign up for a food drive of their own. Businesses, organizations and individuals can pick up boxes or barrels to start collecting non-perishable food items to help the community.Â
Food drive participants can fill out their form prior to the event by visiting fbnn.org.
The event will help the FBNN save money, around $100 per truck load of barrels, by participants picking up their own materials.
You can also donate food during our "Share Your Christmas" drive-by food drive coming up on Friday, December 7th.
We'll be collecting donations at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, the governor's mansion in Carson City and the Carson Valley Inn in Minden from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.Â
We hope you can come out and give.
