Access to resources and services is equally important to rural Nevada populations as it is to those living in urban areas.
Our goal is to help people living in rural areas to gain the tools needed to build equity in accessing resources and services. We focus on removing barriers in technology, language, and distance.
Together we can build a healthy community.
Our leadership team bring years of experience in social services. We’re results driven, with a proven record of successes.

A healthy community starts with you. Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our support goals, money to help us grow, or energy to put political pressure on our governments to change, we need you on our team.
“If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter.”
