Making a Difference: Bank of America Charitable Foundation and Three Square
Three Square Food Bank was established to end hunger in the valley by providing wholesome, nutritious food to nonprofit organizations in Southern Nevada. Alone, their efforts have been valiant with far reaching effects; by joining forces with other charitable organizations, their impact is even greater. Their Wall of Fame, filled with stars representing the contributions of these partners in philanthropy, shines brighter each day.
Recently, a new gold star was added in recognition of Bank of America’s ongoing support. As part of a $1.1 million donation to Feeding America–a nonprofit dedicated to connecting low-income families with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps)–the Bank of America Charitable Foundation presented a $50,000 grant to Three Square.
In Nevada, only 52% of those eligible for SNAP benefits actually receive them. This grant will allow Three Square to increase SNAP outreach and visibility in the community as well as enable more comprehensive application assistance outreach through the Las Vegas Valley and rural Southern Nevada locations. That’s what we like to call a star performance. For more information, visit www.threesquare.org or www.bankofamerica.com/foundation.
