  • Health & Wellness: Quality nutrition is essential to seniors’ well-being, reducing medical issues and enhancing quality of life.
  • Economic Stability: Many low-income seniors – even those living in stable affordable housing with Nevada HAND – face the difficult choice between affording regular, healthy meals and other necessities.

  • Accessible Nutrition: Imagine a mini-grocery store just steps from your front door. Pantries located within Nevada HAND communities ensure easy, equitable access.
  • Choice & Dignity: Caring, dedicated staff members help residents choose from fresh, frozen, and pantry staples, tailoring their groceries to their dietary needs.

  • 7,000+ Pantry Visits in 2023: Demonstrating the critical role of our pantries for our residents.
  • Each pantry visit saves approximately $120 in groceries, or about the cost of 30 meals, per resident. Average monthly total household income for low-income senior residents is $1,750.

A month of supplemental food from the pantry saves a resident about $120 in grocery costs.

Your donation supports one month of supplemental food for:

  • $40 = 1 resident
  • $2,500 = 63 residents
  • $5,000 = 125 residents
  • $10,000 = 250 residents

Make an even bigger impact:

  • $25,000 = fund the entire pantry program for one month
  • $45,000 = fund a single community’s pantry for a full year
  • $300,000 = fund the entire pantry program for one year
