Hampton House is a community organization in Reno, Nevada that led the charge to ensure women and families had somewhere to go in Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. The county run shelters are full, so Lily Baran coordinated downtown churches on a rotating schedule to host women and families in need of emergency winter shelter.

MISSION: The Hampton House Garden Project, launched in 2020 in Reno, Nevada, strives to foster a strong community and advance Black and Indigenous Food Justice in a local "food desert." It was initiated by Lily Baran and her son Oliver.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT: support from the community and various organizations like Black Community Collective, Reno Food Systems, and the Holland Project. Mutual-aid groups individuals and businesses such as the Great-Basin Co-op, Beloveds, Perenn Bakery also support Hampton House Garden Project. The mutual aid project is named after Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party. Hampton believed that horizontal organization, inclusive of all demographics, was the only way to unify movements toward collective liberation.
Located on Elko Avenue, we are a multi-generational space that hosts a community garden, a refrigerated food and resource pantry, a food recovery compost and processing facility, a harm reduction and reproductive care supply hub, and an organizing creative space and venue. We believe that through mutual aid, community care, and direct action, we can achieve liberation for all.
