At the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, we believe no child or community member should ever experience food insecurity; we believe in doing whatever it takes. In part, this means making sure our Members and families in our community always have a snack or a meal, as it might be the only food they get that day.
Our meal program is made possible in part by a grant from the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation.
We offer a daily food program at select sites so no child in our community goes hungry. During the school year, children get an afterschool meal, and during summer and school breaks, we provide breakfast and lunch, all at no cost. This program is open to all youth under age 18 and kids do not have to be a Club member to receive a meal. All meals meet federal nutritional guidelines and are funded in part through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child and Adult Care Food Program and Summer Food Service Program.
So many families struggle to put food on the table even in the best of times. The Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows removes some of the burdens of these families by offering a food pantry program at select Club locations. Families can make an appointment to pick up a bag filled with food that can provide the basis for several days’ worth of meals, with special foods that their kids will enjoy. This program has been a gamechanger for many families in our community and we’re proud to offer it, no questions asked, to all who need help.
Food Pantry pick-up is by appointment only. To arrange a pick-up time, please contact Anne Studebaker, director of Family resources to be a part of the program: agarlow@bgctm.org or (775) 360-2401.
