Season of We’re extremely fortunate to live in a community which supports charitable and nonprofit causes and organizations in a big way. This time of year people give more of their time, money and resources than during any other season. However, for most nonprofits the need extends well beyond the holidays. Please take a few minutes to learn about some of our region’s nonprofit organizations on the following pages as we celebrate this “Season of Giving,” and then be sure to keep them or your own favorite charity in mind throughout the year. The RN&R extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to those of you who already donate your time, money, food, clothing or expertise. Included (in order of appearance) in this year’s Season of Giving section are:
The Generator, Inc. • Veterans Guest House • Silver State Fair Housing Council •
Ronald McDonald House • Pets of the Homeless • Community Foundation of Western Nevada •

he GeneraTor is an inclusive art space, maker space and community space in greater Reno/Sparks for anyone who wants to make things and be part of a creative community. We’re inspired by the magic and inspiration we see in all its enormity at Burning Man each summer and we want to keep it alive all year. We have light industiral equipment and tools, artist mentorship resources, 3 phase power, and 35,000 square feet of workspace. We share our collective know-how and we hope to learn from yours. We’re here to encourage professional artists and beginners alike to make art and to learn from each other as a creative community.
If you would like to work on a project, simply contact us or stop by! We can help you find the lead of the project and make the connections. Big ideas need lots of hands to make them happen and even a small amount of help can make a world of difference. Once you’re a member you can attend our awesome workshops to learn more cool things.
