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.”
