Celebrating Summer

Summer is a time to get outside, enjoy the warm weather, and create fun family memories. While I do enjoy warm temperatures, the forecast shows a big heat wave heading our way. It is going to be a very HOT 4th of July! With Excessive Heat Warnings expected throughout the Silver State, we remind everyone to stay hydrated and make a plan to stay cool. Even spending a few hours a day in air conditioning can prevent heat illness and cool showers can also help. Remember to check on your family, friends and neighbors and share tips to help them prevent heat illness.


Here in Northern Nevada, my family and I enjoy quality time together at Artown, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, and Pops on the River. Southern Nevada has plenty of fun events for the whole family. Be sure to check out 4th of July celebrations and Summer Pool Parties.


With the kids out of school for Summer, keep your little one engaged and learning over the break with this fun Vroom Tip. Learn more about Vroom here or follow us on social media for monthly brain-building tips.


Looking ahead, we are very excited for The Children's Cabinet's 26th Annual Art of Childhood fundraising gala on August 16th at Rancharrah. This year's theme is "Pop of Pink"! We only have a few tables left so be sure to secure your spot before they sell out or join us as a partner! We can't wait to celebrate with you!


We wish you all a fun and safe summer creating lasting memories with family and friends.

Chief Executive Officer

Program Highlight: CC Market

At The Children's Cabinet, we work to provide families with the tools they need to be successful. We look at our services as a bridge, not a bandaid, as we provide temporary support as well as education about budgeting, career paths, and other community resources. Programs like the CC Market provide families with basic needs support to help them thrive.


The CC Market offers food services similar to local food pantries and is designed much like a grocery store, allowing clients personal choice while also eliminating food waste. Additionally, the CC Market encompasses a hygiene closet, ensuring families have access to essential toiletries and hygiene products.


Thanks to a generous $7,200 donation from TC Energy, we are able to continue making improvements to better serve the children and families in our community who need our help through the CC Market.
