Pioneer Center does their part by collecting critical items to maintain Karma Boxes
Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts has recently donated dozens of items to Reno Karma Box Project to aid in providing the area’s vulnerable population with much-needed non perishable food, hygiene items, and small clothing items like socks/gloves.
Karma Boxes are cubby-sized boxes decorated by local artists and organizations and filled with goods for Reno’s homeless population. Planted in front of more than two-dozen businesses in Reno, Carson City, and Dayton, the boxes have increased in Northern Nevada metro areas.
The organization reached out to the Reno-Sparks community for their support to collect and replenish items for all Karma Boxes in the surrounding area, and the response was overwhelmingly positive reported staff. Pioneer Center staff refilled the Karma box on their plaza 2-3 times a day with items collected by patrons attending the recent Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof.”
Approximate donations received:
- Over 800 non-perishable food items
- Over 1,500 hygiene items (including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, etc.)
- Over 300 clothing items (including socks, hats, gloves, etc.)
- Over 500 first aid items (including hand sanitizer, masks, Band-Aids, hand warmers, etc.)
