View as Webpage February 14, 2024 Reno Connect | Senior Connect Connecting Citizens to our Community   Upcoming Events   In 2023, the City of Reno was allocated one million dollars of ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds for senior services. Part of that funding was allocated to Reno Food Systems as well as Neighbor Network of Northern Nevada. We are thrilled to be able to collaborate with each agency. Reno Food Systems is a non-profit 5 acre urban farm with a mission to be farmers, mentors, and advocates stewarding lands and sharing food & resources for the well-being of our earth, community, and future generations. Reno Food Systems is taking a systems-based approach with its food based senior programming. They will be collaborating with UNR's Cooperative Extension to provide cooking classes for seniors to connect, share recipes and ideas on how to cook meals that are budget-friendly, healthy, and nutritious. Additionally, they are proactively working on activating the Paradise Park Community Garden in partnership with the Center for Healthy Aging, creating weekly produce distributions to senior housing facilities around Reno and partnering with Neighbor Network of Northern Nevada to provide transportation to their weekly farm stand where those over 60 can utilize free, farmers market coupons to support the local economy. Here is a list of upcoming cooking classes, space is limited for each, kindly fill out this form or call 775-351-4771.
