On Friday, 10/16/206, there was a celebration of the new Regional Food Hub building with the nonoprofit Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey (HCC). During her welcome speech at the grand opening of the food hub on Oct. 16, 2026, Wendy Madson, director of HCC, which manages the food pantries in Silver Springs, Yerington and Dayton, said, "To our pantry leads, who lead with so much love: thank you. You carry an enormous responsibility. You work through the logistics, the deliveries, the shelves, and the daily challenges. You help connect people to resources beyond food, and you hold space for stories that are sometimes beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking, and sometimes overwhelming. You show us that serving people is not simply about meeting a need. It is about seeing the person who has that need. And to every volunteer, and to every voluntold-you know who you are! We see you. We love you. And this community is better because of you."

It is meant to combat food insecurity in rural Nevada.

New career opportunity for ages 18-24: Healthy Communities Coalition is joining forces with Nevada Volunteers to recruit, train, and deploy Nevada’s first Youth Mental Health Corps (YMHC) to help teens access mental health resources. YMHC will bring young people as peers and near-peers to schools and communities. This initiative addresses not only the need for mental health resources, but will also create pathways for Nevada’s young adults to develop skills in this career field. If you'd like more information about your organization becoming a host site for YMHC members, please contact Hanna at Healthy Communities (email at bottom of flyer).
