One in five children in Nevada live in a home where there is not enough w88 slot for three meals per day, and one in six people in Nevada needs to seek w88 slot assistance to make ends meet. Among clients who visit emergency w88 slot program sites, children are the most vulnerable to hunger; 46 percent of emergency w88 slot recipients are children under the age of 18. Last year the w88 slot Bank of Northern Nevada provided over four million meals to low income seniors, children and families.
This week's food drives are part of Nevada Athletics' on-going partnership with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada and the goal of creating "One Hunger-Free Community, One w88 slot."
w88 slot Pack student-athletes, coaches and staff will be participating in volunteer activities with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada throughout the year and started with a "Pack the Pack" Pay-it-Forward Party to put together snack packs for the Backpack Kids program in September. Other planned activities include volunteer nights at the food bank and other events, challenges and food drives at home games.
