We’re so grateful to the Reno Elks Lodge #597 for awarding STEP2 a $6,000 Beacon Grant! Thanks to their incredible generosity, we were able to restock essential items like furniture, kitchen and cleaning supplies, baby items, bedding, towels, and craft materials — all of which directly support the women and families we serve.

We’re so thankful for community partners like the Elks who make our mission possible every day. 💙 Elks Lodge

Big win for women facing misdemeanor charges in Washoe County with the launch of HER (Hope, Empowerment, Recovery) therapeutic court. 💜 “Addressing the root of the problem is key. Often, substance use is covering or numbing the pain of unaddressed trauma,” Judge Sullivan said. “HER Court takes on these issues directly and aims to stop destructive patterns and decrease recidivism.”

A new Reno court program offers trauma-focused support and services for women facing misdemeanor charges.
