Other Hunger Relief Services
FACE (Food & Companionship Exchange)
FACE is our home food delivery program for individuals who cannot make it to our weekly food distributions due to mental or physical limitations.
Let’s Talk Turkey
Each year, Sierra Community House (formerly Project MANA) helps hundreds of local families have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving through the Let’s Talk Turkey Food Distribution.
CalFresh Application Assistance
CalFresh (formerly known as Food Stamps) can help families and individuals put healthy and nutritious food on the table. CalFresh is a federal supplemental nutrition program for low-income families and individuals that meet certain income guidelines. If you think you might qualify, Sierra Community House can help you fill out your application and send in the necessary paperwork.
Food Donations
In addition to partnering with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, the Placer Food Bank, and the Food Bank of Nevada County, Sierra Community House’s Hunger Relief Program depends heavily on the support of the local community. Please know, however, that 60% of all food donations come in during the holiday season/year-end. The increased amount of food donations create logistical challenges to our capacity. Please be patient with us as we process your interest in donating food.
In order to work together more effectively to serve our community, please consider creative options during food drive season.
Virtual Food Drives
Virtual Food Drives are ideal. The food banks have incredible buying power and may be able to do substantially more with your dollar than you. Sierra Community House can provide an entire meal for $2.08! That is substantially less than the cost of purchasing a single item at the grocery store! Complete an application for a Virtual Food Drive.
Traditional Food Drive
If a Traditional Food Drive is your only option, please email us at food@sierracommunityhouse.org to make arrangements.
