Did you know there’s an entire day dedicated to combatting the global food waste crisis? Stop Food Waste Day provides an incredible opportunity to practice sustainability, benefiting our planet and neighbors in our community. As Three Square Food Bank's Community Engagement Manager, I have the privilege of collaborating with 190 grocery store locations year around to ensure food is diverted from the landfill and into the homes of Southern Nevadans facing hunger.

This gratitude message is dedicated to our volunteers.

As Volunteer Appreciation Week unfolds (April 21–27), Three Square Food Bank would like to take this opportunity to pause and recognize the extraordinary contributions you make to our community. Each volunteer is a pivotal part of our mission, and this week, we shine a light on your efforts, your kindness, and the incredible difference you make.

Every day, Three Square sets out on its mission, “to provide wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community”, alongside a constantly invigorated food network of more than 200 Feeding America affiliates, and in partnership with more than 150 agency partners across Southern Nevada. But that isn’t where the partnership ends.

In pursuit of closing the meal gap in Southern Nevada for more than 274,000 food-insecure people who, on average, miss 5.8 meals per week, we require the support of our public partners too. These partnerships include Clark County, City of Henderson, City of Las Vegas, and City of North Las Vegas.

I had never seen the depths of hunger prior to joining Three Square Food Bank almost a decade ago. That’s when I learned that hunger exists in every zip code across the Las Vegas Valley.

My husband and I have a large family, and the thread that pulls together all our most memorable moments is FOOD. It’s a love that has been passed down to our girls, who, while are still young, will eat almost anything. Ask them their favorite foods, and they’ve gots lists prepared. Pierogi, sushi, candy. All in all though, we agree, home cooking is our favorite.

Vegas View Community Food Bank has been partnering with Three Square since 2008. However, their story began more than 40 years ago when Pastor Jerald Mason’s mother, Lulu, and a team of volunteers were serving 50 meals weekly. That number has since tripled to 150 meals.
