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.
