Washoe County to downsize wildfire Community Resource Center due to decreased demand

The Washoe County Community Resource Center for those affected by wildfires will downsize at 6 p.m. today. as the demand for in-person services has waned. A member of the Red Cross will stay on site through the end of the week to schedule one-on-one appointments with local resource providers. The resource center is at the North Valleys Community Center.  

Mr. Yummy Yummy food truck will be on site today from 4 to 6 p.m. to serve free chicken teriyaki bowls, and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada will hold a food distribution site at Stead Airport also from 4 to 6 p.m. today.  

The Salvation Army Community Center at 1931 Sutro St., Reno, will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for those affected by the fires. Food will be available from 9-11:30 a.m. and clothing will be available from 1-3 p.m. This is not a donation site.
