Lexus of Las Vegas and Lexus of Henderson are doing their part to reduce food insecurity in southern Nevada by donating $ 10,000 to the Three Square Food Bank to feed the nearly 364,000 people who don’t know where her next meal is coming this Christmas season.
Three Square is the only food bank in southern Nevada and the largest hunger relief organization, and works closely with a network of community partners including nonprofit and religious organizations, schools, and after-school programs to support needy valley residents. Since opening in 2007, Three Square has distributed more than 4 million pounds of food to hungry residents in Clark, Lincoln, Esmeralda, and Nye counties.
“This generous support from Lexus will enable us to continue our quest for a hunger-free community,” said Brian Burton, president and chief executive officer of Three Square. “It means a lot to us and this community because it’s like a holiday game. Every dollar donated provides up to six meals to our neighbors who do not have reliable access to sufficient amounts of affordable, nutritious food. “
Three Square’s annual Holiday Match Challenge runs until midnight December 31st.
“Three Square Food Bank is a not for profit that we have at Lexus and that we will continue to support for years to come,” said Lee Butler, chief operating officer of Lexus of Las Vegas and Lexus of Henderson. “The service they do to feed starving families and individuals is extremely important and needs to be sustained.
“Nobody in our community should go hungry. We encourage other companies and individuals to do all they can to eradicate hunger in southern Nevada. “
One in six people in southern Nevada is food insecure, including one in three children. If you or someone you know needs food aid, visit Three Square Food Bank at threesquare.org or call 702-644-3663.
