Their presence underscored the importance of inclusivity and collaboration in building a stronger, more cohesive society.

Kicking off the program, Dr. Cengiz, Outreach Director of the Silver Sage Foundation, and Mr. Galvyn, Executive Director of the Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada, extended a warm welcome to all attendees, setting the tone for an evening of fellowship and enlightenment.

The highlight of the night came with the inspiring keynote speeches delivered by Allyson and Martin, which resonated deeply with everyone present, reaffirming the values of compassion, understanding, and unity that lie at the core of our shared humanity.

As the aroma of delectable dishes filled the air, participants gathered around tables to enjoy a sumptuous meal, sharing not only food but also stories, laughter, and cherished moments of connection. It was a true feast for the senses and the soul.

In the spirit of reflection and gratitude, attendees took the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences, further deepening the bonds of friendship and solidarity that were forged throughout the evening.

In a heartwarming display of community collaboration, we, Silver Sage Foundation, came together with the Methodist Church and Presbyterian Church to organize a charitable event hosted by the Reno Methodist Church, addressing the pressing needs of the homeless population in Reno. Attendees of the event contributed to the cause by purchasing tea, coffee, and delectable homemade bakery items like cookies and desserts for fundraising purposes.

The primary objective of the gathering was to provide essential clothing and hygiene items to individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. The generous participants assembled at the Reno Methodist Church, demonstrating the power of unity among different religious denominations. In a touching gesture, the donated items were subsequently handed over to the Reno Sparks Gospel Church, serving as a vital support center for the less fortunate. This event not only exemplified the strength of a united community but also underscored the collective dedication to extending compassion and solidarity to those in need.
