Emergency Food Distribution Sites
In response to recent developments regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), Three Square Food Bank– in partnership with Clark County School District and local agency partners – have put the following strategies in place to ensure food-insecure individuals throughout Southern Nevada still have access to food during these uncertain times:
CCSD Food Sites
CCSD will continue providing breakfast and lunch to students during school
closures. Student food distribution pods will be set up at 15 schools located
throughout the valley from 8-11 a.m. Monday through Friday. In order to comply
with federal regulations, a school-age child must be present for food to be
distributed.

Three Square Emergency
Food Distribution Sites
In an effort to serve as many people as possible, Three Square has collaborated
with select agency partners and volunteers located in key regions throughout
the valley who will be assisting with the distribution of food at 43
emergency food distribution sites.
The emergency food distribution sites – which have various dates of operation and distribution times – were chosen to maximize coverage and food distribution across Southern Nevada. The sites are located at: 21 CCSD school sites (in addition to the 15 sites CCSD confirmed that will serve breakfast and lunch); three Station Casinos properties, including Palace Station, Sunset Station and Boulder Station; 10 Just One Project LDS Church sites; and nine of Three Square’s local agency partners.
ATTENTION: 100% drive-thru distribution only! For everyone’s safety, you must be in a vehicle to receive food. All food recipients must stay in a vehicle. Please make sure your trunks are cleared out so volunteers can load food with minimal interaction.

To focus its efforts entirely on emergency food distribution in response to COVID-19, Three Square has suspended normal food distribution to agency partners, with the exception of those included as part of the emergency food distribution model.
Help for Seniors
Three Square remains committed to assisting seniors. Those 60 years of age and
older who need food assistance are encouraged to call 702
765-4030 Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., where
they will speak with a caring Advocate to determine which program, service or
resource is best for them. Advocates can also assess seniors for SNAP and
provide information on nearby pantries that are dedicated to seniors, or home
delivery for those in need.
Coronavirus Emergency Food Fund
The economic impact of COVID-19 is expected to increase the need for food
assistance in Southern Nevada in the coming days and weeks. As a result, Three Square
has created the Coronavirus Emergency Food Fund, which will allow the nonprofit
to remain nimble in its daily response and quickly respond to those affected by
quarantines, school closures and economic hardships. For more information about
volunteer opportunities or donating to the Coronavirus Emergency
Food Fund, visit threesquare.org or call 702
644-3663.
