Make a Difference Through Volunteering
Want to make a real impact in your community? Volunteer with Community Health Alliance (CHA) and help improve the health and well-being of families across Northern Nevada. Our volunteers support the Prescription Food Pantry Program, assist with fundraisers, and take part in outreach events that connect people to essential healthcare services.
​
Whether you’re an individual, family, student, retiree, or corporate team, your time can help nourish neighbors and expand access to care.
