What we do

Three Square Food Bank provides wholesome food to people in need while working toward a hunger-free community across Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda, and Clark Counties.

Our mission

To provide wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion

We believe ending hunger is a community effort. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are central to our mission, ensuring everyone has fair access to the resources they need to thrive.

Our partners

We partner with a network of over 150 nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, schools, after-school programs, and feeding sites, to reach individuals and families at risk of hunger. In 2024, our community partners helped distribute more than 41 million meals to neighbors in need. Our efforts are fueled by a broad coalition of supporters: local businesses, major corporations, schools, higher education, food distributors, government, media, and thousands of volunteers and donors.

Our vision is simple: No one in our community should be hungry.

It takes a diverse and dedicated team of partners to end hunger

Three Square is proud to work with a service network of community partners including non-profit and faith-based organizations, schools and feeding sites. We also work with grocery donors who provide product to our Food Rescue and Food Bank Programs, and we couldn't distribute the amount of food we do without the continual financial support of corporations, individuals and foundations.

Three Square's vision is simple

No one in our community should be hungry.
