THANK YOU

The Reno Chapter of the Guardian Angels distributes blankets, hats and gloves to Reno's downtowm homeless last December.

About Us

We are the Reno Guardian Angels. We help those who are often unable to help themselves or even know how to seek help. We protect those who are often overlooked, neglected, under-represented, discriminated against, oppressed, or disadvantaged.

We were founded in Reno in 1996 and have been active every year since. The Reno chapter is the third longest-running chapter in the global Guardian Angels network which includes at least 100 cities in 11 countries.

We are not a religious or political organization and we do not discriminate based on race, gender, age, religion, income, political view, sexual orientation, or disability. We are a community activist group that strives to improve communities, while also educating and empowering its members with skills in first aid, CPR, basic law, self-defense, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, discipline, public speaking, and community relations.

If you want to spend your free time helping others and becoming more involved in your community, call us at 775-745-7485 or email us to find out more.

I look forward to meeting you!

Blanket-Bundle Drive

The Reno chapter of the Guardian Angels continues to provide blanket-bundles to Reno's Downtown homeless. In last Winter's campaign, we not only reached our goal... but thanks to an outpouring of support from our community, we quadrupled it! Your donations of $5, $10, $20 or more allowed us to help 100  200  400 homeless residents of the Downtown area stay just a little warmer last Holiday season — and even now, we still continue to distribute blanket-bundles as they are needed. Each blanket-bundle contains a 4-foot by 5-foot signature-red fleece blanket with Guardian Angels logo, a red stocking cap and a pair of men's large black fleece gloves with cinched wrist and clip. The bundle is contained in a polyester carrying strap, allowing the items to be easily carried and stored. Huge Success! Even though we are a small organization, we are very proud we were able to do something. Our community rallied and helped us... and we hope to roll the program out to other Guardian Angels chapters worldwide to show them what Reno was able to accomplish! There is still need. You can still help! There is still need, and we continue to support our community and are gearing up for future campaigns. Donate today.   Read RGJ Article Read Sparks Tribune Article Read the Press Release
