Community & Charitable Experiences
Community & Charitable Experiences extend beyond Reno Food & Drink Week itself, highlighting select events throughout the year that align with Reno Food & Drink’s values, audience, and commitment to supporting Northern Nevada’s food-and-drink and nonprofit communities.
These experiences are independently produced by participating nonprofits, organizations, businesses, and event coordinators and may include fundraisers, tasting events, culinary collaborations, galas, educational gatherings, and other community-driven celebrations. Reno Food & Drink shares these events with its audience, app users, subscribers, and members as part of its broader effort to support meaningful local initiatives and community engagement.
Participating Community & Charitable Experiences are encouraged to offer exclusive member pricing or added-value benefits for Reno Food & Drink members and app users. Event formats, pricing, charitable components, and inclusions vary by organizer and experience.
If you are interested in having a qualifying event considered for inclusion as part of the Community & Charitable Experiences series, we invite you to reach out.
