Dinner is served at 5:00 p.m. 7 days a week for anyone who is hungry. Breakfast is supplied for overnight emergency shelter guests, and lunch for those who are a part of our residential recovery program, including a bag lunch for those who are working off-site. Also, every night after chapel service, ice cream is served for our overnight guests and residents.

The total number of meals served in 2012 was 351,099 which is a 3.3 percent increase over 2011, and we expect even more in 2013. We are currently serving over 1000 meals every day to the hungry, residents in our program, and emergency shelter guests.

In addition to the daily meals served, the Las Vegas Rescue Mission provides the following services to the community:

• More than 40,000 food items including bread, pastry, dairy, fruit and vegetables are distributed each month to those in need.
• Holiday Food Baskets with turkeys are distributed to approximately 2,000 households each year during the months of November and December.
• Mothers with babies are given special attention, they are provided not only with formula and baby food, but also with diapers and other necessities.
• Selected Service Agencies such as daycare centers, senior homes, and more are provided with bread, dairy, pastry and dry goods on a daily basis.
• Through an arrangement with the State of Nevada, the Mission distributes USDA Surplus Food to approximately 15,000 persons every other month.
• Also, we have started a new Food Pantry program last year to help needy families in our community with emergencey food items. We currently are serving about 300 families per month.

Thanks to the many friends of the Las Vegas Rescue Mission who donate their hard-earned money, and to businesses in the community who donate food on a regular basis, we are able to provide these services at absolutely no cost to the recipient.
