One in seven Southern Nevadans are food insecure. That is more than 341,480 people. Food insecurity is an issue that Mom’s Meals is passionate about. That is why Mom’s Meals corporate social responsibility efforts focus on reducing food insecurity in the communities we serve.
As one way to give back to the community during our year-long 25th anniversary celebration, Mom’s Meals decided to get others involved to help us donate $10,000 to Three Square Food Bank in Southern Nevada. During the 2024 America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Conference in Las Vegas, Mom’s Meals had a roulette wheel for attendees to spin and win prizes, and to help raise money for the donation. When attendees landed on a dollar amount, it was added to the overall total to help reach the $10,000 donation.
“When someone donates one dollar, Three Square can make three wholesome meals, and so from our good friends at Mom’s Meals donating $10,000 that means we can get 30,000 more meals out into the community,” said Will Edwards, Three Square’s event marketing manager. “Three Square really strives to reach out to the different areas we service and try to fill the gaps and fill the holes as much as we can with distributions and partnerships.”
Three Square is Southern Nevada’s only and largest hunger relief organization, serving over 100,000 people each month. To keep up with demand, Three Square partners with different community organizations.
“We can’t do this work without great partners, and Mom’s Meals with their donation has proven to be a great partner,” continues Edwards. “We depend on these relationships to continue our work and to be able to reach more people and make sure that our community has access to food, so this donation means a whole lot.”
Mom’s Meals is honored to have provided this donation to Three Square and is dedicated to supporting communities combat food insecurity.
“We really do appreciate everything that Mom’s Meals does and them supporting us during their 25th anniversary,” said Edwards.
