Mission
Three Square distributes food across Clark, Lincoln, Nye, and Esmeralda counties through a network of partner agencies, mobile pantries, school programs, and direct-service operations.
Problem they address
Southern Nevada accounts for the majority of the state’s food-insecure population, with Clark County alone holding roughly 97 percent of that need. The region’s scale requires statewide-class infrastructure, not a county-sized response.
How they contribute
In fiscal year 2023–2024, Three Square distributed 49 million pounds of food (40 million meals) to more than 328,000 people. Programs span aggregation, mobile distribution, child nutrition (BackPack for Kids), senior nutrition, and the Las Vegas–anchored produce-recovery network.
