As part of its 18th annual food drive, the Nevada State Apartment Association (NVSAA) recently collected and donated over 11 tons of food to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
Food items were collected from 66 apartment communities throughout Clark County. Among other things, NVSAA supports its members and the community through a myriad of networking and community engagement initiatives.
“Our organization hosts many community engagement events but this one was so timely in light of the concerns around SNAP benefits, the government shutdown and the rising costs of food,” said Robin Crawford, executive director for the Nevada State Apartment Association. “This year’s food drive collected over 11 tons or 22,000 pounds of food and non-perishable items for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission and we couldn’t be more proud and humbled by the support for this initiative.”
Collecting 22,107 pounds of non-perishable food items, NVSAA’s volunteers loaded up two HD Supply trucks, one IBS Copiers cargo van, an SUV and a car to deliver the donations to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
NVSAA is an affiliate of the National Apartment Association and represents more than 200,000 rental housing units—approximately 74% of Nevada’s multifamily rental housing inventory. Members provide and support low-income, affordable, senior, Housing Choice Voucher and market-rate communities.
