Restaurant Week: Three Square And Leading Restaurants For Hunger Relief

Three Square Food Bank and certain participants extend Las Vegas Restaurant Week offerings to June 24. Three-course fixed menus for different meals throughout the day give diners the opportunity to give back to Three Square Food Bank as a portion of the proceeds are donated to Three Square to help purchase, package and give meals to relieve hunger. Each dish ordered from Las Vegas Restaurant Week menus at participating restaurants helps support Southern Nevada's only food bank towards hunger relief.

Bufala Mozzarella is served over charred lemon leaves and drizzled with caprese dressing and relish. It is one of the many delicious menu items on the Amalfi by Bobby Flay Las Vegas Restaurant week menu. Genting Palace, Wally's Wine and Spirits and Brezza at Resorts World are also in on making a positive impact towards hunger relief. Blue Ribbon Las Vegas, JING and many other restaurants on and off the strip are involved as well.

Over 5.5 million packaged meals have fed the hungry and disadvantaged through Las Vegas Restaurant Week since it began in 2007. As the largest hunger relief 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Southern Nevada, Three Square Food Bank serves Clark, Esmeralda, Lincoln and Nye counties.

"As of January 2020, Nevada had an estimated 6,900 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development," informs the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.
