LAS VEGAS (MAY 27, 2025) — Three Square Food Bank and its community partners will continue providing summer meals to children in need through the “Meet Up and Eat Up” program. From Tuesday, May 27 through Friday, Aug. 8, children who rely on free and reduced-price lunch during the regular school year can access free nutritious food through this program, which encompasses the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).

With the rising cost of groceries, housing, and other essential needs, families across Southern Nevada are experiencing significant financial strain. As a result, thousands of Clark County School District (CCSD) students rely on free or reduced-price meals during the school year. However, when school ends each summer, many of these children are at risk of food insecurity. Currently, 21.6% of children in Southern Nevada – or one in five, which equates to 113,610– live in a food-insecure household. Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, Meet Up and Eat Up bridges the gap to prevent childhood hunger during the summer months by providing free meals to children in need.

Las Vegas Weekly, Jul. 10, 2025 — A food desert is generally defined as an area where residents have limited access to affordable and nutritious food options. A truer definition depends on the community. Three Square, the nonprofit food bank serving the residents of Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda and Clark counties, recognizes 16 food deserts in Clark County—10 in the City of Las Vegas—and focuses on people who live a mile or more away from a fresh food provider.

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.”

Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sept.18, 2025 — September is National Hunger Action Month, and Albertsons and Vons have partnered with Three Square to bring awareness, receive donations and help families with cost-effective and nutritious meals.

National Hunger Action Month is an annual campaign held in September, led by Feeding America. Its purpose is to raise awareness about food insecurity and encourage action to combat hunger. Throughout September, Albertsons and Vons are accepting monetary donations at their registers for Three Square to support families while addressing hunger.
