Three Square Food Bank hosted event to benefit children in need; Wider Bag Childhood Hunger match campaign continues through May 31

LAS VEGAS, March 23, 2023 – Three Square Food Bank urges anyone experiencing food insecurity to reach out for support, especially as the recent end of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) emergency allotments (EAs) has impacted households in Southern Nevada.

Households losing access to meals from SNAP EAs may look to food pantries as a means of replacing those meals. Three Square is working with its agency partners to help manage and react to any instances of increased demand. Beginning April 2023, households that have been receiving SNAP assistance twice monthly will now receive benefits just once per month in the amount for which the household was approved.

 

LAS VEGAS, MARCH 14, 2023 — Director of Advocacy & Research at Three Square, Regis Whaley, spoke with KSNV News 3 about the end of SNAP emergency allotments and what Three Square is doing to help those impacted.

The temporary benefits were intended to ensure food access during the pandemic. While the emergency allotments are going away, SNAP isn’t.

Neighbors needing food assistance and not enrolled in SNAP are encouraged to apply. Our team at the Three Square Center can provide help signing up for SNAP and other programs. For details, call the Three Square Center at 702-765-4030.
