Despite painting many renowned works of art, Vincent Van Gogh never earned a living from his artwork and was often close to starvation.
The need for food has grown exponentially, especially with inflation impacting local communities; more than 110,000 northern Nevadans are food insecure, including nearly 35,000 children (Nevada State Governor's Office, 2021).
That’s why the Food Bank of Northern Nevada and Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is partnering up in September for Hunger Action Month to gather donations for individuals and families affected by food insecurity.
Guests who purchase a ticket to Beyond Van Gogh can bring another guest at no extra charge with a donation.
The food drive is running from today, September 28 through October 9.
Guests are encouraged to bring 5-10 non-perishable, non-expired items to donate.
You can stop by the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on S. Virginia Street at the times listed below.
