Mission

Mission: Carson Valley food Closet is dedicated to providing supplemental  food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity while fostering a community of support dignity and hope.

 

Fighting hunger. Fostering hope. Strengthening our community.

The Carson Valley Community Food Closet is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 to provide supplemental food assistance while fostering a community of support, dignity, and hope.

As the primary provider of food assistance in Douglas County, we distribute over a million pounds of food annually in partnership with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada (FBNN). We serve the community through food distributions, offering groceries, fresh produce, meat, dairy, hygiene items, holiday assistance, and pet food, as available.
