IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

The Reno Chapter of the Guardian Angels distributes blankets, hats and gloves to Reno's downtown homeless last year. Help us do it again!

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 plans to distribute 200 blanket-bundles to Reno's Downtown homeless in mid-January. In order to do this, we need to raise $4,000 by January 4th. Your donation of $5, $10, $20 or more will allow us to help 200 homeless residents of the Downtown area stay just a little warmer this winter. Last year, recipients were SO appreciative... and other Guardian Angels chapters around the country are now helping their own communities with blanket-bundles. Each blanket-bundle contains a 4-foot by 5-foot signature-red fleece blanket, a knit cap and a pair of large fleece gloves. The bundle is contained in a polyester carrying strap, allowing the items to be easily carried and stored. Last Year Was Amazing... Let's Do it AGAIN! Last year, the campaign raised enough money to buy over 400 blanket-bundles, quadrupling our initial goal. Although most of the blankets were distributed in December and January, we continue to distribute the blankets year-around on an as-needed basis as we come across people in need during our walking security patrols. Especially now, there is SO much need. You can help! Take a moment and donate whatever you can — even a $10 or $20 donation will make a huge and possibly life-saving difference to someone out there who is very cold. We'll do the rest! Please donate online or mail a donation (check or money order, please) to: 2868 Vista Blvd. Ste 124 PMB 116 Sparks, NV 89434-8043 THANK YOU!
