Retailer Walker Furniture has announced the continuation of its Feeding Vegas Campaign. The extended 90-day campaign has a goal to feed more than 15,000 people and the company is guaranteeing the first 10,000 meals.
Walker Furniture has partnered with Las Vegas Rescue Mission, which has been feeding people in the community for 51 years. During the campaign, the community can be involved because for every purchase made March 4 through May 29, Walker will add another meal to their goal.
“There is a lot to be proud of in our city, but no one should go hungry,” said owner Larry Alterwitz. “Food insecurity is an economic and social indicator of the health of a community. A survey commissioned by the Food Research and Action Center found one in four Americans worry about having enough money to put food on the table in the next year. It wasn’t difficult for us to see the need.”
“The Las Vegas Rescue Mission with this added support from Walker Furniture will help ensure no one is left hungry, said Heather Engle CEO Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
“We are honored to partner with Walker Furniture, and I thank them for supporting us so we can continue to serve our community.”
