LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, September 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As SHARE Village Las Vegas approaches its second anniversary as a partner in the Feeding America/Three Square Regional Food Bank OrderAhead program we are celebrating having served 4,500 curbside grocery orders.

SHARE Village Las Vegas is setting the “gold standard” by embracing technology to remove the obstacles and stigma often associated with seeking assistance for food.

SHARE Village Las Vegas was among 14 non-profit organizations across the USA to partner with Feeding America and Three Square Regional Food Bank when the pilot program was launched in October 2020.

Since the implementation of the innovative online ordering program SHARE Village Las Vegas has distributed nearly a quarter of a million pounds of food to neighbors in need.

Amid the continued stormy economic conditions in Las Vegas, Nevada, access to nutritious food for families is a growing need. The demographic of those seeking assistance has broadened, many individuals and families have had to come to the realization that they need assistance with food. Having access to healthy food is vital in helping people live better and plays a role in the well-being of individuals both physically and economically in all stages of life.
