School Snack Program

We are proud partners with the Nevada County Diaper Project who work to provide diapers for babies in the community. Many mothers struggle to afford basic needs for their babies, including clean diapers. A clean diaper leads not only to a happy and healthy baby, but also to a happy and healthy mother and family. 

You can receive diapers and other baby products from the Nevada County Diaper Project at our Grass Valley distribution the second and fourth Thursday of every month as well as on their website.

We also accept donations of diapers, wipes, formula, food, etc.

FREED Center for Independent Living offers a variety of resources including a food delivery service twice a month to elderly, disabled, and/or homebound individuals in Nevada County. If you or someone you know is homebound and unable to attend our distributions, contact FREED by phone for more information on how to sign up (530-477-3333).

This program offers four food deliveries over the course of sixty days for medically impacted people. To qualify you must have a referral to the program from Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital or a Care Coordinator. Please contact 211 for more information.

Our 2022 Summer Lunch Program was a huge success!
