"Las Vegas is known for its incredible dining scene, but food insecurity is still a real challenge for our community," said Beth Martino, President and CEO of Three Square Food Bank.

LAS VEGAS, NV – (Jan. 14, 2025) – Three Square Food Bank has announced the hiring of Brian Rice and Marissa Shoop to its leadership team, bringing decades of collective business, development and advocacy experience to the nonprofit as it continues its mission to provide wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community.

Brian Rice is now Vice President of Operations, responsible for overseeing and optimizing the organization’s food procurement and warehousing as well as assuring the quality of food distributed to agency partners.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 5, 2024 – Through a partnership with MGM Resorts International (MGM Resorts) and Nevada Public Radio, Three Square Food Bank can distribute 90,000 additional meals to Southern Nevadans experiencing food insecurity.

During Nevada Public Radio’s 2024 Fall Membership Campaign in September, members had the option to donate meals to Three Square in lieu of receiving traditional thank you gifts when they made their pledge of support. Their generosity raised a value of nearly 61,000 meals for hungry neighbors in the community. Additionally, MGM Resorts went above and beyond, graciously covering the value and donating even more to create 90,000 meals through this initiative. Three Square is Southern Nevada’s only food bank, providing food assistance to the residents of Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda and Clark counties.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 28, 2024 – Continuing its fight against hunger in Southern Nevada, Three Square Food Bank’s 15^th annual Holiday Match Challenge will take place Friday, Nov. 1 through Tuesday, Dec. 31. Contributions made by the campaign’s matching sponsors will allow Three Square to double the impact of donations made through the end of the year, providing twice as many meals to food-insecure individuals in the community during the holidays.

This year’s Holiday Match Challenge is supported by area businesses and community leaders, including Boyd Gaming Corporation, Nevada Gold Mines operated by Barrick and Intermountain Healthcare.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 15, 2024 – The Southern Nevada community came together to support Three Square Food Bank during Hunger Action Month in September, raising a total of $703,219. As a result, the non-profit organization will distribute 2,109,657 meals to local individuals facing food insecurity.

Hunger Action Month is an annual nationwide campaign that takes place each September to raise awareness about hunger in America and inspire action. The generous support enables Three Square to continue its battle against hunger in Southern Nevada. More than 341,000 individuals, constituting one in seven people, find themselves unable to obtain proper nourishment to sustain healthy and active lifestyles.

“It’s incredible to witness the continuous outpouring of support from our local community each year during Hunger Action Month,” said Beth Martino, President and CEO of Three Square Food Bank. “The number of hungry neighbors across the valley is troubling, and we are grateful to the many compassionate Southern Nevadans who have joined our fight against food insecurity.”
