Did you know that today, May 28th, is World Hunger Day? It’s a day to recognize the pervasive issue of hunger that affects millions of people worldwide, including right here in our community. In the North Tahoe/Truckee area, Sierra Community House is on the front lines, providing supplemental nutritious food to 625 households every week. Remarkably, 85% of these households have children under 18.
However, to continue meeting this essential need, especially now as we face nearly $500,000 in federal and state budget cuts, we need your help.
How You Can Help
Become a Recurring Donor with Our 238 Plate Club
One of the most impactful ways to support us is by joining our 238 Plate Club. This initiative is inspired by the $2.38 it costs to provide one community member with a nutritious and balanced meal. As a recurring donor, you can choose a giving level that suits your capacity. This giving model allows us to partner with local food banks and grocers, ensuring we can provide high-quality meals at the lowest possible cost.
Other Ways to Give
Virtual Food Drive and One-Time Donations
Participate in a virtual food drive or make a one-time donation. Donating online streamlines the process and provides you with instant receipts for your tax-deductible donation.

Whether through the 238 Plate Club, a virtual food drive, or a one-time donation, your support is crucial in helping us continue our mission. Together, we can ensure that every member of our community has access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
