Reno Restaurant Week: STEP2

STEP2  is one of the three 2019-2020 Hungry Gives Back charities. 100% of the net income from Reno Restaurant Week  will be split between these three charities; however, I wanted to give our community the chance to donate as well.

STEP2  is a private, local non-profit organization that has been serving northern Nevada since 1986 and is one of only a few treatment programs of its kind to offer family-oriented services.

STEP2 provides gender-specific long-term treatment services for substance use disorders, domestic violence intervention and education, and trauma services. Women and their children live on the STEP2 campus, on average, for one year. In addition to treatment services, STEP2 helps the women in the program find suitable employment, reunify with children, and access quality childcare.

When a woman is ready to leave STEP2, she is clean and sober, gainfully employed, and she has learned life skills that will allow her to break free from patterns and environments that perpetuated addiction to create and maintain a better life for herself and her children.
