  • Community Resource Programs
    • The Children's Cabinet

      The Children’s Cabinet Market is more than a food pantry—it’s a dignity-driven, choice-based hub that helps families stabilize during their most stressful moments. Every visit gives children, young adults, and families the ability to select the foods, hygiene items, and essentials that best meet their household’s needs. We pair this with supportive navigation, resource connection, and ongoing check-ins around food security so families leave with both immediate relief and long-term support. Our goal is simple: reduce crisis, increase stability, and make sure no child in Washoe County goes without the basics.

    • Nevada Institute for Children, UNLV

      The Infant-Toddler Court Program (ITCP) works to change child welfare practices and improve the early developmental health and well-being of infants, toddlers, and their families through the use and spread of research-based infant-toddler court teams. The program focuses on assisting families with young children where maltreatment has occurred or is likely to occur due to stressful experiences, such as poverty or risky health conditions. Infant-toddler court teams unite courts, child welfare, health practitioners, and other family support providers and partner with families to help them access the resources that they need to maintain safe, stable, and healthy relationships that children need to thrive. The program also helps states and communities design services and systems that strengthen all families, treat them fairly, and put them at the center of decisions.
