In addition, there will prize drawings throughout the day and a grand prize drawing valued at over $400.00 including iPods, movie passes, photo sessions, and much more. StorageOne President Jim Meservey said, “The number of people in our community who go hungry each day is astonishing. With an estimated 40 million additional pounds of food needed to feed the hungry, we’re proud to help raise awareness and sponsor a food drive.”Items high in protein like canned meats, tuna, and peanut butter are of particular need. Canned vegetables, canned fruits, and boxed goods such as baking mixes, cereal, oatmeal, flour sugars, etc. will also be gladly accepted. (No glass containers, perishable items or home canned foods please.)
Three Square is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community. With over 210,000 men, women and children living in poverty in Clark County, Three Square must provide 234 pounds of food per person for a total 49,000,000 lbs of food per year.
We think it’s great that StorageOne is engaging the community to give on a wide scale-with so many locations for donation drop off, said Melia Smith, Events Coordinator for Three Square. Everyone has a chance to make an impact and help the 210,000 people in our community in need of food assistance. Over half of those 210,000 individuals are under the age of 18. It’s wonderful to have the support of local businesses who believe in our mission to end hunger.Three Square endeavors to meet the estimated 40 million pounds of food needed this holiday season for Southern Nevadan families.
