LAS VEGAS, Aug. 28, 2025 – This September, Three Square invites Southern Nevadans to turn awareness into action during Hunger Action Month. With the support of generous partners, community events, and thousands of volunteers, the nonprofit is making it easier than ever for residents to fight food insecurity and help ensure no one goes hungry.
“Hunger Action Month is a reminder that none of us can solve hunger alone, but together we can make a real difference,” said Beth Martino, president and CEO of Three Square Food Bank. “Every act of kindness, big or small, helps ensure children, seniors, and families in Southern Nevada have the food they need.”
How to Get Involved
Community-Wide Virtual Food Drive & Stock Our Shelves (SOS) Campaign
Throughout September, supporters can donate to Three Square’s Virtual Food Drive by visiting threesquare.org/ham. The SOS Campaign, launched in response to rising need and empty shelves, will directly help supplement essential food resources for families impacted by recent changes in social safety net benefits. Every dollar donated helps provide up to three meals for a neighbor in need.
The Forum Shops’ Dine with a Purpose | Sept. 1–30
For the entire month of September, diners at participating restaurants in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace can enjoy a meal while giving back. A portion of proceeds will benefit Three Square. Featured restaurants include Zaytinya and Bazaar Mar by Chef José Andrés, RPM Italian, Sushi Roku, True Food Kitchen, Carmine’s, Joe’s Seafood, The Palm, Water Grill, Electric Playhouse, and more. Full details at threesquare.org/events.
Mix 94.1’s 4 Corners Food Drive | Sept. 22–25
Back for another year, the 4 Corners Food Drive is a community tradition that raised more than 600,000 meals in 2024. Listeners can tune in, make a gift, or bid on auction items at threesquare.org/4corners.
KOMP Radiothon | Sept. 30
KOMP 92.3 The Rock Station will once again dedicate a day to raising funds for Three Square. Listeners can join in by tuning to KOMP and donating at threesquare.org/ham.
Community Impact in Action
While the public is invited to participate through donations and promotions, Hunger Action Month also brings together large volunteer efforts behind the scenes:
- MGM Resorts Packing Event | Sept. 3 – Nearly 400 MGM Resorts employees will pack 9,000 BackPack for Kids bags and 2,100 Senior Hunger Program boxes, providing nutritious food for two of the most vulnerable groups in Southern Nevada.
- 9/11 National Day of Service | Sept. 11 – More than 500 volunteers will gather at the Thomas & Mack Center to assemble over 158,000 non-perishable meals in honor of the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Meals will be distributed by Three Square to families across the valley.
Why It Matters
The need remains urgent. According to Feeding America’s 2025 Map the Meal Gap study, 377,270 Southern Nevadans (or one in six) are food insecure. Among them are 113,610 children, representing more than one in five kids in our community.
Three Square continues to meet this challenge through community-wide collaboration. In the past year alone and through a network of 150 community partners, the food bank distributed over 48 million pounds of food, which equaled more than 40 million meals.
This September, Three Square is proud to work alongside dedicated sponsors, including Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Athletic A's, Axos Bank, Barclays, Boyd Gaming Corporation, CSAA Insurance Group, Desert Produce, The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, Globe Life, Helen Tobman Martin Family Foundation, IconTrust, InTouch Credit Union, Nevada Health Link, Pay It Backward Foundation, T-Mobile Foundation, Towbin Motorcars, and Western Alliance Bank. Their generosity brings us closer to a hunger-free community.
