Every child should be able to enjoy the magic of the holidays. That’s why the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows has Holiday Help. This program provides gifts and much-needed items during the holidays to local Club families in need. Each year we match dozens of families in Reno, Sparks, Fernley with generous adopters who provide toys, clothing, and household supplies.
Most families that receive help through this program are Club families on a minimal income. We also help families experiencing homelessness/housing insecurity. The children range in age from 5-18. To know each family’s individual needs, they go through a pre-screening process before their application is approved for the Holiday Help program. This process helps the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows allocate resources accordingly and ensure these families get everything they need for the holidays.
To adopt a Reno-Sparks family for the 2023 Holiday Help program, please get in touch with Dina Ciarlo via email at holidayhelp@bgctm.org.
Club families applying for the program should contact Naomi Valenzuela-Mora, Family Plus Director, at (775) 360-2401 or nvalenzuela@bgctm.org.
Recipients of Holiday Help must have one or more children currently enrolled in the club.
