 Monthly Highlights & Happenings
See what steps we've been taking towards having a healthier community!
Bike Camp
We partnered with the  Reno Bike Project  to provide a free bike camp for kids. The camp covered bike safety, riding with cars, nutrition, physical activity and more.

Thank you Reno Bike project for helping kids tackle new challenges and creating new healthy habits!
4th Annual Breakfast for the Homeless
We hosted our 4th Annual Breakfast for the Homeless in observance of National Healthcare for the Homeless day! We wanted to recognize those in need through kindness and compassion and we thought a healthy, nutritious breakfast was a great way to do it.

We couldn’t had done it without our partner  Reno Sparks Gospel Mission  who helped cooking and preparing the food. We also would like to thank our partners,  Food Bank of Northern Nevada  and  US Foods,  for the fresh fruit and  Nevada Dairymen & Dairy Council  for the nice cold milks!
HLP Students attend Summer Camp
CHA’s Foundation Board sponsored 4 Healthy Living Students to attend  Urban Roots  Summer Farm Camp. The weekly camp ran for nine weeks, from June 10th to August 9th. The camp provided an immersion experience that allowed campers to make new friends while having fun with a focus in farming.

They learned about chickens and seedballs, and also about permaculture and compost! Urban Roots also provided the kids with hot, organic, healthy lunches from Farm Fresh Catering. We are very happy that a few of our kids in the Healthy Living program had such an amazing experience this summer.

WIC's clinic doors remain open
Community Health Alliance  is proud to stand with WIC and continue to provide WIC services to our communities in need.

“To the communities affected by this final rule, let me be clear: WIC’s clinic doors remain open. The final rule does NOT impose barriers on families for accessing WIC, or women from accessing Medicaid when they are pregnant or for 60 days after delivery. The final rule does not penalize families if their U.S.citizen child is accessing benefits. We stand at your side, forever committed to our mission of delivering quality nutrition services and breastfeeding support for all families."

Volunteers Needed
Community Health Alliance is a federally qualified health center providing comprehensive health services to all. The Prescription Food Pantry is a program at CHA that provides free healthy food to patients who are food insecure. The aim of the pantry is to improve food security, provide nutritious foods needed to have a healthy diet and prevent or aid in the treatment of chronic disease.

The pantry is busy as can be! We are continually growing and serving larger numbers of patients. To accommodate the growth and continue to provide this essential resource we are in need of volunteers! We are open Monday-Friday 7am-6pm and are looking for compassionate, motivated students who want to get some experience or want to help the community by volunteering their time.

If you are interested in volunteering please contact Sierra Kelly at sierrak@chanevada.org or call 775-336-3079.
