During the shutdown, many federal employees at RNO worked without pay. In response, the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) partnered with The Children’s Cabinet to deliver food and essential items directly to impacted federal employees working at RNO. The RTAA made financial contributions to The Children’s Cabinet and The Food Bank of Northern Nevada to help ease the impact for affected employees.

This support was made possible by donations by members of the community, passengers and local businesses, which helped support federal teams who continued ensuring the safety, security and reliability of air travel.

We thank everyone who stood by these federal workers when they needed it most, and special thank you to our federal workers who kept working to keep operations smooth at RNO.
