Our Story
The founders of Saint Francis Food Pantry, David and Cindy Becher,
have been Reno residents for over 38 years. During this time they have volunteered thousands of hours to end hunger and homelessness in the area. They served as board members for 6 years for Family Promise, an organization that provided homeless families with the resources they needed to get back on their feet. In addition, they have volunteered in several food pantries in the area for 18 years.
“Not to share one’s wealth with the poor is to steal from them and take away their livelihood. It is not our own goods which we hold, but theirs."
– Pope Francis quoting Saint John Chrysostom
