I Got You Reno
Why are we here?
We are here to support families.
The scenarios are endless. Families today have many obstacles to overcome. When the unthinkable happens from job loss, homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, eviction, illness and more, families have little to no support in setting up a new home after losing everything. I Got You supports these families by freely giving and delivering, if needed, household goods and furniture.
Helping families set up their home provides a service that sets a family up for success. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, we are here to help.

The recipients will be so grateful. ❤

The driver picking up the donation or the person accepting a drop-off donation has the authority to make a final decision whether a donation will be accepted or not.
Who do we help?
We help those in need and do not have income guidelines because everyone needs help once in a while. We work closely with Federal, State, County, and City agencies, Washoe County School District, Family Resource Centers, rehabilitation centers and partner with churches. We welcome collaboration with other non-profits and Community Based Organizations.
There can never be too many people helping those in need: the more positivity, the more productivity will ensue.
How do we Help?
Families in transition need support and help to become stable. We provide families with household items and furniture. We deliver those items to the families, when possible, and we never charge for the items or delivery.
*Please note: we are a completely volunteer organization and can only deliver when we have enough volunteers to do so.*
**We do NOT provide food, hygiene, clothing, cleaning products or diapers.** Please see our Resource page for information regarding those items.
