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.

Who do we help?
We help anyone who expresses the need for assistance. We work closely with Washoe County Human Services Agency, all rehabilitation centers and partner with churches. We welcome collaboration with other non-profits and Community Based Organizations.
How do we Help?
Families in transition need support and help to become stable. We provide families with basic needs. Some families need furniture, and others, simply a shower curtain. Whatever the need, we are here to support the family with that need. We deliver the goods to the families, when needed.
