Hungry does not mean homeless. It may surprise you to learn that, every day, working parents in Southern Nevada face an unthinkable choice between feeding their families and paying the bills. Three Square was founded to help people like this get the food their families need to survive so that they can focus on other things - like getting back on their feet. Food insecurity occurs when people aren’t able to secure enough food for a healthy diet and active lifestyle, at some point during the year.Three Square and Feeding America estimate the number of food-insecure persons in our service area to be more than 279,000. Three Square sources food, raises funds, and relies on volunteers to help supply program partners with the food and services they need to provide wholesome food directly to hungry people in hundreds of neighborhood locations in all four counties.

The Mathews-Dickey Boys’ & Girls’ was founded under a shade tree in St. Louis’ Handy Park by two neighborhood baseball coaches, Martin Luther Mathews and the late Hubert “Dickey” Ballentine, in 1960. Since then the Club has instilled the values of respect, restraint and responsibility within more than 2 million young people, ages 5 to 18. MDBGC is a youth-serving organization that annually offers direct-service programming to 3,000 children and indirect programming to over 10,000 in athletics, education, arts, healthy living and leadership and professional development.
