Three Square - News and Press Releases

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 30, 2023 – Three Square Food Bank will join with local businesses and community members to continue its fight against food insecurity during Hunger Action Month, which takes place annually every September.

“It’s heartening to see the number of people and organizations stepping up this Hunger Action Month to aid us in our mission,” said Beth Martino, president and CEO, Three Square Food Bank. “Too many of our neighbors, including children, remain food insecure and we invite all Southern Nevadans to join us and the many organizations helping to raise awareness and funds this September to fight against the hunger crisis in our community.”

New York (CNN), Aug.13, 2023 – Three Square Food Bank, which serves Las Vegas and southern Nevada, saw an uptick both in donations and interest in its mission after Swift’s largesse during the tour.

“It is really meaningful to get a gift from someone who, like Taylor Swift, has the ability to bring so much attention to our cause and to the work that we’re doing,” said Beth Martino, CEO of the nonprofit group, which last year served nearly 36 million meals through its network of community partners.
