Titus to Partner With Three Square to Help Collect Food for Needy Families
Henderson, NV – Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s Third District is partnering with Three Square food bank to help collect food for needy families in Southern Nevada. Titus’ congressional district office, located at 8215 S. Eastern Ave, Suite 205, will serve as one of the drop-off locations for Nevadans who want to donate food to Three Square. Southern Nevadans can bring donations to Titus’ district office until December 16.
“With more than 250,000 men, women, and children struggling with hunger in our community, efforts to collect donated goods are critical during this holiday season,” Congresswoman Titus said. “Three Square has been instrumental in the effort to assist Southern Nevadans during this difficult economic time, and I am pleased to lend my support for such a worthy cause. As we celebrate the holidays with friends and family, let us remember those less fortunate and open our hearts to help them keep body and soul together.”

"I believe, however, that it would be wise and responsible for your institution to suspend foreclosure proceedings until you can ensure that your systems and documents meet high standards for accuracy and legitimacy. It is simply inexcusable that a family could be made homeless because of careless handling of paperwork."
"For too long, veterans in Nevada have had to travel great distances to receive the care our country promised them. A new veterans’ outpatient clinic in Laughlin will provide resources that are convenient and will serve them in their own communities."
"As ground zero of the foreclosure crisis, the Third District has been hit particularly hard during this recession. That is why I have made it a top priority to fight on behalf of my constituents by pushing for additional funds as well as standing up to the banks that too often have been part of the problem rather than part of the solution."
“The implementation of the Patient’s Bill of Rights is a huge step toward putting people in charge of their health care decisions, not insurance company CEO’s whose sole focus is on the bottom line.”
"These latest unemployment numbers reflect what we already know – Nevadans are struggling during this difficult economic time and we must continue to make job creation our top priority. This means diversifying our economy so that Southern Nevada is not so dependent on tourism and gaming and investing in both the production and manufacturing of renewable energy."
"I write to you today to again ask you to develop and implement effective sanctions on the Wall Street banks that are refusing to help Main Street. We have provided numerous 'carrots' but lack the necessary “sticks” to ensure that these programs will be effective. More pressure must be exerted to force banks to improve customer services and loan modification efforts."
“Investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency is critical to our efforts to diversify Nevada’s economy and put people back to work. The funds in the Recovery Act have increased our ability to utilize our abundant renewable resources and created jobs that cannot be shipped overseas. Investments in clean energy that have both created jobs and lowered energy costs for Nevada’s families and businesses are a win-win for the Silver State.”
"While we continue to mourn the friends, family, and countrymen who were lost that day, we also honor their memory and reflect on the effort of the American people who came together as one community to respond to these heinous attacks."
