Did you know the youth homeless population is the fastest growing in the nation?…read more As a masters candidate at UNR, Lynette Eddy did, and she saw a need to get ahead of it in our community, starting the Eddy House to help, and today this is one of the most successful in the nation! I had the opportunity to work for the first version of this NPO near the beginning, when they owned a home in NW Reno that provided a safe place for 5-8 young men to live and owned a restaurant in downtown Reno as a work experience for them. I knew the organization was vital then, but it just wasn't the right format for them to deliver their maximum impact. Over the years they learned a lot, and under the leadership of some extremely astute folks, they've grown into the vital community organization I always knew them to be. Starting with the YOU, they helped homeless youth find purpose and footing, access to necessary resources and opportunities to learn academically and about themselves with the support of some great local partners. In the last year they realized their dream of opening a 24 hour drop in center for youth, something so incredibly needed by our community, and they continue to advance their mission from there. Now they need our support more than ever. If you can, consider sharing something with them so they can continue to serve the community.

This Review is for the Bacon, Bourbon & Beer Event…read more Thank you Mike T from Yelp, the Care Chest organization, and to all the vendors & volunteers that made this such a GREAT event. Duplicate review to be posted at Care Chest & Bartley Ranch. Quality/Quantity - I have been to most of the breweries that attended. But it was GREAT to discover so many food businesses. I will be sure to visit them after this event. Also, I discovered so many local spirits and bourbons. Look forward to creating a "local" bar at the house. Atmosphere - Fun event that supports a good cause. So many food, bacon, bourbon, and beer booths. I ate and drank too much!! It was also good to see the regular Yelp attendees. William C (& Grant), we are attending all the same events, should we consider carpooling, LOL?! Some of the activities are: Silent auction, Beer Stein holding (I failed miserably! Might have been drunk by 4pm already...). Plenty of tables and chairs throughout and a huge shaded area near the DJ. Service - Amazing, from the Care Chest Team that greeted us during check in to all the vendors that supported this event. I met and spoke with so many of the founders of businesses here. So impressed that founders of good size companies can take the time to come and support! Thank you again! Price - Yelp invitation, don't forget to tip & donate! Owner Suggestion - Bartley Ranch - Love visiting and hanging out with all the horse owners here. Care Chest - Congrats on all your success since 1990, what a great organization.

I encourage you to support these folks, as personally, they helped us make one of our bathrooms wheelchair friendly. Since I am not getting any younger, I knew that it would be more difficult to assist my son with is personal hygiene needs. Since I myself have some back issues, lifting him into a tub would soon be crossed off of my list. Now I have a roll in shower with grab bars. My son has a shower chair. And I owe it to CareChest through grants and donations from supporters. Great event with foods from Chihuahuas, Fig Tree Catering. Distilled brews from Frey Ranch, The Depot, and many more!
