Making a Difference: Expedia, Inc.
When we think of the homeless problem in our valley, it can be easy to sometimes forget that many of them aren’t even adults. Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) has long been dedicated to providing assistance and resources to homeless teens in Southern Nevada, and thanks to a recent gift from Expedia, Inc., their selfless mission can continue to change lives.
The generous $200,000 donation represents just a fraction of Expedia’s commitment to fighting homelessness with NPHY as the company dedicated its own time, resources and staff to help serve as champions of good will. Employees from Expedia’s local office volunteered with the nonprofit to put together survival packs and sack lunches for youth living on the streets. In addition, volunteers helped complete labor-intensive grounds work at the nonprofit’s William Fry Drop-In Center by stocking food and hygiene pantries, refinishing the center’s gazebo and setting up a streamlined processing center. Expedia also served as a co-presenting sponsor of NPHY’s fourth annual “Homeless Youth in the Alley” bowling tournament fundraiser in May.
“Expedia is a fabulous corporate partner who cares about helping our community,” said NPHY executive director Arash Ghafoori. “The company approached us last year asking how they could help. Barely a year later, they have already supported us and our clients in so many ways. We couldn’t ask for a more inspiring and helpful partner in the fight against youth homelessness.”
