Our story
Born in rural Nevada. Now serving all of America.
The Rural Emergency Assistance Project began in Fallon, Nevada, feeding the hungry and helping people experiencing homelessness get to shelter. We saw firsthand that in a crisis, the hardest part is often knowing where to turn.
Today REAP puts everything into one mission: a free, 24-hour hotline so that no one in America has to face an emergency alone.
