LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — More than 341,000 Southern Nevada residents, including more than 115,000 children, are currently food insecure.

In honor of Hunger Action Month, Three Square Food Bank is stepping up its efforts this September to combat this crisis by partnering with local businesses and the community.

Three Square has launched a series of campaigns and events to address food insecurity, including the Community-wide Virtual Food Drive and donation drives at local Albertsons, Vons and other participating partners. The goal is to engage the community in making a tangible difference by providing people with multiple ways to get involved.

According to Kate Gaines of Three Square, a donation of $1 can make a big difference.

“There are so many ways to get involved,” she said. “First of all, people can go to threesquare.org. They can learn more about hunger or make a donation. Every dollar provides three meals for this community. You can also volunteer or visit partners like Green Valley Grocers, where a portion of the gas you pump goes back to Three Square.”

For those looking to help fight food insecurity during Hunger Action Month, the Three Square Food Bank offers numerous opportunities for Southern Nevada residents to make a difference.
