Three Square - News and Press Releases

LAS VEGAS (KLAS 8 News Now), Aug.1, 2023 – Green Valley Grocery stores are teaming up with Shell USA on The Giving Pump, where a portion of the purchases made by customers who use the designated pump at 78 Shell stations across the valley will support Three Square Food Bank, the region’s largest hunger-relief organization.

Southern Nevada’s only food bank, Three Square, is on a mission to provide food to hungry people while pursuing a hunger-free community.

Legislation provides Three Square with funds to purchase over 2.8 million meals for Southern Nevadans in need

LAS VEGAS June 20, 2023 – Three Square Food Bank applauds Governor Joe Lombardo’s signing of Senate Bill 341 and Assembly Bill 525. SB 341 was sponsored and championed by Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, and Senators Roberta Lange and Marilyn Dondero Loop. AB 525 was championed by Assembly leadership. Both bills stand to significantly and positively impact our food-insecure Southern Nevada community.

These bills will provide critical financial support to thousands of Southern Nevadans who have recently sustained major reductions to their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits with the conclusion of SNAP Emergency Allotments (EAs) earlier this year. The loss of SNAP EAs resulted in many seniors experiencing a more than 90 percent drop in benefits, and a collective $40 million monthly loss in purchasing power for Nevada. These bills provide Three Square and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada $4 million each during the next two years to purchase more food for those that will turn to the food banks during this time of increased need.

LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2023 – Continuing its mission of ending food insecurity in Southern Nevada, Three Square Food Bank announced that select participants across the valley will extend their Las Vegas Restaurant Week menus and promotions through Friday, June 23.

Restaurants will continue to offer three-course prix fix menus – for breakfast, brunch, lunch and/or dinner – at price points ranging from $20 to $80 with $4, $5 or $6 from each cover donated to Three Square. Foodservice businesses offering special promotions have also extended, with a fixed portion of proceeds donated to Three Square.

***The list of participating restaurants and special promotions is subject to change as additional venues may extend. Please note that while select restaurants have extended, dates, hours and restrictions may apply. Foodies are encouraged to visit RestaurantWeekLV.org for the most up-do-date information, as well as menus and pricing. The list of participants that will be extending is available here and provided below.

LAS VEGAS, May 23, 2023 – Three Square Food Bank announced Beth Martino as its president and chief executive officer. Martino’s first day with the organization will be June 5.

Soon to lead one of the fastest growing food banks in the nation, Martino brings 20 years of leadership experience in the food bank, public affairs, and health care sectors.

Martino will oversee the growth and sustainability of the food distribution network, advocate for and inspire community support, and address barriers that prevent Southern Nevadans from gaining dignified access to meals.
