But it was a nice little cash bar. The building itself is "dated" but is definitely well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who needs a larger space that is simple. Not sure of the cost. But it was nice.

It's an all day ordeal so I'm glad that we've been here in the past and would be okay returning in the future. They host lunch for our big group and usually we have lunch catered, but was a nice change of pace to eat in house. The ladies that served us were all very sweet and thorough. Plates and utensils were picked up in a timely manner, so we could get back to our guest speakers and our seminar. Thank you to the staff that served our big group last Sunday; your service was appreciated very much.

Did you know the youth homeless population is the fastest growing in the nation?…read more As a masters candidate at UNR, Lynette Eddy did, and she saw a need to get ahead of it in our community, starting the Eddy House to help, and today this is one of the most successful in the nation! I had the opportunity to work for the first version of this NPO near the beginning, when they owned a home in NW Reno that provided a safe place for 5-8 young men to live and owned a restaurant in downtown Reno as a work experience for them. I knew the organization was vital then, but it just wasn't the right format for them to deliver their maximum impact. Over the years they learned a lot, and under the leadership of some extremely astute folks, they've grown into the vital community organization I always knew them to be. Starting with the YOU, they helped homeless youth find purpose and footing, access to necessary resources and opportunities to learn academically and about themselves with the support of some great local partners. In the last year they realized their dream of opening a 24 hour drop in center for youth, something so incredibly needed by our community, and they continue to advance their mission from there. Now they need our support more than ever. If you can, consider sharing something with them so they can continue to serve the community.

This is a sizable and welcoming thrift store filled with lightly used clothing, jewelry,…read morehousewares, books, kitchenware, toys and more. Many times there are sales. Prices seem reasonable and the volunteers working there are very friendly and keep the aisles organized. There is a lot of parking around the building. The walk-in entrance is to the right side in the back. I like that it is all volunteer run and for the benefit of many charities benefitting the local young and older population of Reno. Also, it is a highly rated organization that gives their profits practically all to their programs. There is also a little craft shop where one can purchase hand made local crafts by the senior citizens of Reno. Profits from this little corner go directly to the craftsperson. It's free to display for purchase for 90 day increments. Lovely idea.

This review is partially on the shopping experience locally and the community program known as the…read morevoucher system. Starting with the best part, when people are just starting off, resettling into a home, or just in need, the SA offers a voucher program where these people can receive a voucher. The vouchers are for basic needs like silverware, plates, pots & pans, glassware, small appliances, storage containers, basic furniture and other household items. This is an awesome community caretaking role so that people don't have to struggle just to get settled. There is a simple qualification process and then start shopping. 5/5 The shop ability of the two locations known as Valley Road and the one on Sutro. The store is mostly chaos-organized, but at least there is lots of room for everyone to shop. Donation drop-off is variable and seems to sometimes work super easy and at other times it seems they would rather you go to St. Vincents. Some of the items are reasonable and some are nearly retail. 3.5/5 I understand the processing volume of things that come in is a huge task because there are things that cannot be resold, pure junk, all mixed in with great second chance items and valuables. Over all 4/5 Keep up the good work at The Salvation Army.

When I first moved to the Truckee Meadows in 2008, I wasn't familiar with the Veterans Guest House…read more My introduction to VGH was by my daughter's friend who attended Orvis School of Nursing. As a military brat, this organization holds a special place in my heart. I have donated to this cause for fifteen years, including posting a reminder daily on my Facebook page to vote for VGH to win a large donation from Home Depot years ago. And, yes, they won! Finally, I visited their wonderful facility at their annual open house on December 9, 2023. I am so pleased to see that we are helping our Veterans and their families with lodging while the Veteran receives medical attention at no cost to them! Many companies and other groups provide dinner nightly for those staying there! If you have a minute, you might want to take a quick tour to see how VGH "spends" our donations and I believe you will also be impressed. Please keep in mind that VGH operates solely on the donations of our local community! There are reading areas, a laundry room, TV rooms, and bedrooms from single beds to family-sized all with bathrooms, large open community areas like the kitchen and dining area. Please remember that our Veterans signed a blank check when they served our country and now we can help them!

I'm not a veteran, so I have never used this facility…read more But it's one of my favorite organizations to contribute to. Several times a year I drop off various greeting cards for the guests to use, as well as various dental items. They also accept cash and gift cards to several area stores. Throughout the year VGH has a few fund raisers. October is Boots to Fashion. A fabulous event at a Reno casino ballroom that includes a champagne three course lunch, raffle and auction items and of course a fashion show. Women veterans of all ages and branches donate their time walk the runway and show off the latest trends in women's clothing from local shops. A fabulous event that honors the many women in the military. Why are fund raisers needed ? Because VGH provides US military service veterans and their families a place to stay in Reno while they are receiving medical treatment at the VA Center or other area facilities. The House is like a small hotel with a common area living room and kitchen. It is not associated the Veterans Administration. Guests are suggested a $25 a night donation to help defray costs, but no one is refused for lack of funds. The house, located across the street from the VA Hospital, is a non-profit, and receives no state or federal money for its day to day operations. Huge kudos for everything the VGH does for the veterans. Thank you sir and mam for your service. For more info - veteransguesthouse.org
