As part of the effort to build our community to make lives better, the Strong Start Go Academy has invested in pre-k infrastructure to increase access to high-quality early childhood education.
The Strong Start Go Mobile Pre-K Academy offers children and families an affordable high-quality early education program closer to their neighborhood. This program provides half-day pre-k classes along with family engagement workshops and activities.

Three Square
Three Square combines food banking, food rescue, and ready-to-eat meals to be the most complete food solution for Southern Nevada.
Three Square met Southern Nevada’s meal gap in 2019, making Las Vegas the first major U.S. city to end food insecurity. With the support of key donors as well as federal funding, three square was able to secure a new building to store more food, serve more seniors, and expand The Three Square Center – all of which were priority needs even before the pandemic and are now essential components of our Emergency Relief Plan.
