The Food Bank of Northern Nevada on Friday announced a $50,000 grant from the Morgan Stanley Foundation to fund its School Pantry program, a child hunger initiative that helps to make sure low-income families have a readily accessible source of healthy and nutritious food to prepare at home.

September 1st marks the beginning of National Hunger Action Month. Locally, The Food Bank of Northern Nevada devotes the month of September to raising awareness about the very real problem of hunger, right here in our community.

Mini USA has partnered with Feeding America to raise money to feed the hungry at more than 200 food banks nationwide. Mini is donating $20 to hunger relief for every test drive from April 15-24, 2016. Locally, Mini of Reno is participating and locals who test drive Minis during this time period will generate donations for The Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
