Had the opportunity to volunteer here last weekend thanks to Terri R. who organized it. This food bank is the only one here in Southern Nevada, as the other one is in Reno. So you can imagine what a task it is for them to service the Vegas Valley. The food warehouse was as big as Costco! We were given a tour and also briefed on this wonderful organization. They are able to turn $1 into 3 meals. Bringing food is great but Three Square is able to get the best price possible for food with their purchasing power so seems like monetary donation is better. But they will take food as that is what we spent the morning sorting through looking at expiration dates. Then we packed them up in boxes to be shipped out to the different food facilities throughout Las Vegas. It is heartbreaking the number of kids that go hungry in our community and now with school almost out, most of these children won't be able to count on a meal. Three Square is working on a summer meal program to feed these kids. I encourage anyone to donate their time, food or money to this worthy organization. No one should ever go hungry....especially children. read more

Three Square - Food Banks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I come here weekly to volunteer for the Backpack program. If you're not aware of this program, Three Square provides "backpacks" of food for hungry kids that are enrolled in the school lunch program in order to give them food for the weekends. It is a really great program and they serve approximately 7000 kids in multiple schools and counties in Nevada. While I admit the backpacks are mostly full of stuff I'd never eat or give my kids (chocolate milk, frosted flakes, vienna sausage, etc), I still think it is a worthwhile program and I'm proud to be one of the people that helps stuff the packs with food and gets them out to hungry kids. read more

If you're looking for a place to volunteer and give back, this is the place! I know many may feel like volunteering sometimes seems a little overwhelming. I volunteered here with Charlie L, and it was such a wonderful experience! They have three warehouses that are huge! The interior of the main warehouse is very modern and hip. The facilities are clean, and they are very good about following sanitation guidelines, I got to pack already made cooked meals into those little tv dinner trays to sell to the senior centers and hospitals. I must admit. The food looked so delicious! I really wanted to try it! They had corn with pieces of minced bell peppers, baked chicken with bbq sauce, and seasoned baked potatoes. we pack them into the tv dinner, and weight them precisely to the ounce so everyone gets a fare share (no one gets one more potato than the other!). Pablo, the chef, was such a nice and funny guy! He helped make the experience fun for us, and cracking jokes and teasing me! He's amazing. The place is so friendly! The staff is wonderful, and great part is, we gave back and even went home with new friends. I even got to know my assembly line friend. He loves to cook and was a part of an externship for his culinary school. Thanks again Three square! I'll be back to give back! :) read more

Three Square is a delightful place to visit and volunteer! Their building/warehouse is beautiful and spacious inside, and the volunteer area - where I've sorted cans/items and packed boxes with the Las Vegas Wranglers hockey team - is clean and organized. All of the Three Square staff and volunteers I've worked with have been super friendly and welcoming. When you show up to volunteer, they do a great job of getting you situated and answering questions along the way. Three Square is doing something important and crucial for our city, and it's always worth helping them out with a donation of goods or your time. Lovely organization! read more

My team and I came here twice in a week to fulfill our mandatory holiday hours for work, and we couldn't have chosen a better way to serve. The facility is absolutely gorgeous, and immaculate. The team is friendly, upbeat and on the same page. They explain the entire story of Three Square to you, and set you up for success while volunteering by getting your heart in the right place. Taking every precaution to be sanitary, you're fit with gloves and a hairnet after washing your hands. Inside the kitchen, you're assigned to a line and shown what to do. There are 'runners' who will refill your station for you when you run out of food, so you don't have to leave your post. The process is organized and precise, and you're mixed in with experienced volunteers so there's help all around you if it's needed. Perfection. I love that in a mere 4 hours, you're able to help pump out up to 10,000 meals for those who don't have access to them. ...and we're not talking fast food. These are healthy, balanced meals that will fuel bodies instead of bogging them down. I love it. My team had such an incredible experience here, that we plan to volunteer once each month. I'm super impressed by you, Three Square. Thank you for all you do for our community! :) read more

This year I finally got a chance to sign up and volunteer at the Three Square Food Bank. Initially I called the Food Bank to sign up and the employee I spoke to informed me that I could sign-up online and view the volunteer calendar. At that point, I went online to the volunteer page and completed the forms. It only took a few minutes and after about 10-15 mins I was able to log in and view the calendar. I was able to volunteer several different days and during those days I worked in the volunteer room. In the volunteer room we sorted and box or bagged food for distribution by the food bank. The employees in this area were really nice and organized. The food bank also uses an electronic sign-in system for volunteers and automatically tracks your volunteers hours. Each volunteer also has there own identification number which is also nice because it keeps things organized. I really hope to be able to volunteer again with Three Square and possibly work in one of the other volunteer areas like the kitchen preparing school lunches. I think the employees, building, and programs at the Three Square campus are all great. The building is clean and beautiful and I really can't wait to go back because my experience was so great. The organization of the staff really stood out and made me happy because I felt my time was used efficiently. FYI- I just learned that they some times offer Saturday volunteer opportunities in the volunteer room in addition to the other weekend programs they offer. read more

What can you say about an organization that feeds food insecure Las Vegans on a daily basis?? THEY ARE AMAZING, FANTASTIC, SUPERB, BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL AND MORE!!! Not only do they supply all the other non-profits in the majority of the state, they also have a great kids food backpack program. Volunteers pack bags of food for kids who do have a meal when they get home at night or for the weekends they are out of school. I've volunteer a handful of times here and every time I am impressed at how much they do and how much they have grown in the past five years. Volunteering with this organization is easy and there are plenty of opportunity. Go to their site and sign up online. read more

- Thank you, Three Square, so much for organizing Restaurant Week twice a year. - All other city's Restaurant Week I know of are only once a year. On top of that, those city's (DC, LA...) Restaurant Week doesn't even include a philanthropic component (where the restaurants donate a portion of proceeds to charity) so by that fact alone Vegas' Restaurant Week's are superior. read more

I know this review is long overdue but really thinking of best way too Honor such class act organization. Organization that gives SO much back into our own community making sure no ones goes hunger man, women, or child. Every year they do wonderful job with Restaurant Week here in Vegas. Launch the event had party with some of the restaurants participating dishes out some of there food and wine. They had so much food not sure if able too get taste of all of them. Everything that had opportunity too taste was awesome. The location is kind of sneaky since its off the road tucked in the back. Once you find it AMAZED with the inside from the classy show kitchen area right up front (they were serving up some of tasting menu items), the meeting rooms, dining area, and caught quick glance of the kitchen. Everything is all state of the art and shows the amount of support and class act organization. I love three squares logo is clear, bold, and shows the mission statement below it. I meet some of the upper management. Brain believe his name. Too see him walking around dishes out samples, hearing the enthusiasm, and passion ever worker at three squares. Makes me proud know amazing non profit organizations care about world we live in the need less fortunate ones in life!!! Thanks for Terri R for taking me along for this event. Too see more fellow yelpers that night all supporting wonderful cause. Thanks too Misti for always keeping yelping not only fun but all kinds of events that shows yelper care about our community. It good times meeting lot of new yelpers that night!! read more

This was my first time volunteering with Three Square. I always wanted to go, but I finally got the chance to come fill up food boxes with my coworkers. The sign in process was quick and they set us up with everything we needed to get going and were helpful when we had questions or needed anything. I have heard great things about the organization over the years and look forward to helping out again in the future. read more

Myself, my Mother and her grandson live together in an apartment. My Mother and I were both told by 2 different people at their call center that we could walk up to the pop up site at Silvestri JHS to get groceries. When I went up there I was refused help and told they only do drive thru. We don't have a vehicle. My Mother is a senior citizen and they won't deliver here because I'm capable to go out and get things for her. But again we have no vehicle and they don't except walk ups. So basically they're telling us to suffer since we don't have a vehicle. They were entirely no help whatsoever. Which is pretty bad at a time when people need all the help they can get. It's a shame and shame on them. read more

I came here for the first time and had a blast! My mom and I came for the kids cafe. It was a lot of fun and we created meals in the form of an assembly line! I am definitely coming back a lot! read more

Three Square - Food Banks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I came here for a seminar on Extreme Couponing a few weeks ago. I have always wanted to check this place out and I'm glad I finally did. Everything that Three Square stands for is just awesome. They had the lady from Extreme Couponing: All Stars speak about how to do what she does (which is work, but saves you money). She had appeared on the All Star edition where they shop and at the conclusion of their shopping trip, they donate all of the food to a local food bank. She had given all of hers to Three Square, which is where the event was held. Not only was the building easy to locate, the building we were in was so hip and cool. Super clean inside. There are so many different directions to go in the building according to the arrows posted. There was another building next door, but it wasn't open. I plan on coming back over the summer to do community service. read more

Was driving by Whitney liabary where Three Square was giving out food. It was the end cause there really wasn't anyone left. So I drove up to see if I could get anything they had left over. They lady in charged said that they were done for the day everyone on her list already picked up and that they were cleaning up and going to the next stop. And to take her number and call next time to be put on the list. First of all she didnt have to be so rude about it. And what made me really angry was as I was walking up so was a gentleman and his 2 little girls. She turned us both away. In my eyes she was giving food to who she wanted to and singling out who she didnt want to give to. She was rude and felt like she could care less rather i needed help or not she'd already made up her mind about it before i even walked up. read more

This place is awesome, they really make you feel like you've made a difference after you volunteer. This is going to be a regular visit for me and my family. Anyone who is looking to help, I fully support this organization and it's purpose. read more

Three Square - Food Banks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It's wonderful to share food & feed people who are less fortunate then some of us. God bless the USA. This facility is clean & organized.

I honestly wish that I could give more stars. They get 5 stars just on the cleanliness alone, another 5 stars for the customer service and lastly 5 more stars for Chef. Julio and Angie, the Event Coordinator. My Niece's Baby Shower was held there last Saturday and ee could not ask or expect better day. At times Chef Julio rolled up his sleeves and helped bring in gifts. The Asparagus was 7 blocks past perfect!! I'm not really sure what if anything could have been better. I would definitely recommend Three Square to any and everyone. They went above and beyond to assist in make everything seem seamless and surpassed everyone's expectations. Thank you!! read more

Amazing facility. Bored with nothing to do, sign up to volunteer a few hours. It's worth every potato you pack or lunch box you fill.

Three Square is one of my favorite volunteer opportunities in the valley. Thanks to Terri R, we had a chance to give back to our community. The sort-a-thon was a great success with over 30 plus volunteers sorting through multiple pallets like mad people. Hearing and seeing some of the basic necessities that some of our fellow citizens go without has definitely revitalize my desire to donate my time. read more

I volunteered here for the first time about a week ago and let me tell you, I was blown away. The facility is gorgeous and the people working were genuinely happy to be there. They made the volunteer process easy and always had someone available to help us when things got a little confusing. I signed up for more hours right after this first time. read more

I went with the Meadows school as a volunteer. I was blown away by this place. Its big, extremely clean and well organized. The employees that run the facility should be very proud of what they have to offer and any foundation would be proud to be a part of Three Square. read more

A small group of my friends and I volunteered here on a Saturday morning. We cleaned plastic bins that were going to be used to pack meals for the community.The coordinators were very helpful and informative, enthusiastic and friendly. A follow up email was sent to me by a coordinator on the same day that we volunteered, thanking our group and including a photo of us. It was awesome! Hope to return here and help again soon! read more

I was there with my co-workers. It was an eye opening experience. We went for the tour and then started volunteering for 2 hours.

This is a great charity that I will enjoy participating. Anything to do with food, you have my attention. Added value is that I will be helping those who need it the most. I will sadly admit I have only volunteer once, for the Backpack for Kids program. But they are the sponsor behind Restaurant Week that happens twice a year. So after attending an Yelp event where they have an assortment of charities that Yelp is partnered with, I took the time to educate myself with this charity by speaking to someone there. With that being said, they have A LOT of opportunities for volunteering and have fun at the same time. My next visit to them will be to help pack dinners for kids and that would mean I get to be in their kitchen! I have walked by their kitchen and seen the operation and I am all excited to be able to be in that kitchen and working...updates soon to follow my experience in this kitchen! read more

See all

I can not believe this place is so cool and everyone who works there is awesome I wish I could go and volunteer more but my transportation issue makes it hard to go there. read more

My wife and I had the privilege of touring the Three Square food bank on Friday (4/25/14) and I must say that the word "impressive" only comes close to describing our experience. This is a giant facility (think Costco or Costcos in size) and we learned that they do a lot of good within their community. The statistics on meals served and food collected were staggering. It seemed like each time we thought the tour might be finishing up there was a new portion of the facility and or community service to go over. Our tour was with Vanessa and despite her claim of having never given a tour before both my wife and I were blown away by her knowledge of the facility and the work being done by the nonprofit as a whole. I was struck not only by the genuine caring of the employees at the facility but also by the effectiveness of the operation. Having done some large scale events in the past I am very impressed with well run operations and logistics. Three Square appears to excel in both of those categories. Kudos to Three Square and their staff for exceeding my wife and I's high expectations of what makes up a great nonprofit. read more
