Sustaining Community. Sharing a Table. Nourishing Hope.

From a small food pantry to northern Nevada’s leading hunger-relief organization. This year, the Food Bank of Northern Nevada marks a big milestone: 40 years of serving our community. The Imagine Ending Hunger Experience celebrates a history of innovative approaches to delivering meals and hope across our region while raising funds for what lies ahead.

We have some big, bold plans for our future, and we can’t wait to share more about them with you. Come join us...


Exciting, Interactive Experiences Around Every Corner

Bocce Experience

Play the night away at Renaissance Reno’s Bundox Bocce while catching the action from R\LAB on the big screen.  This is your chance to shine! Best your buds at a round of bocce, billiards, or ping pong. Or claim the high score on one of the arcade games. It’s all included – plus a sampling of dishes inspired by the meal served in R\LAB and other tasty bites and drinks!  Bocce Experience includes 1 drink ticket per person.
