Helping Homeless People

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.
