LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2024 – Today, Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the world’s largest food distributor, presented a check for $10,000 to Three Square Food Bank to support the local community where Sysco operates. Sysco’s donation is part of the company’s signature Nourishing Neighbors® program where a portion of the proceeds from each Sysco branded case sold in local communities is donated back to charitable organizations in those communities.
Sysco Las Vegas also donated 2,500 turkeys to be distributed through Three Square at local distribution events across the community this month. As part of Sysco’s annual Purpose Month, a month dedicated to volunteerism, Sysco colleagues also volunteered at the food bank to pack 250 shelf-stable packages, 250 bags of produce, and 1,200 Meals on Wheels senior bags to feed the community this holiday season.
“We are honored to make this donation to Three Square Food Bank to nourish and serve our local community this holiday season. Food brings us together, especially during the holidays. At Sysco, we believe that everyone deserves a warm meal and a reason to celebrate, and we are committed to helping make that possible,” says Matt Jacobson, Sysco’s Desert Region President.
“Though hunger is not seasonal, thousands of neighbors will be reaching out for help accessing basic needs and simple comforts during the holidays,” said Beth Martino, President and CEO of Three Square Food Bank. “The incredible support we’ve received from Sysco will allow us to provide nourishing meals to the one in seven Southern Nevadans facing food insecurity. We are truly grateful for their commitment to ending hunger in our community.”
In Fiscal 2024, Sysco Las Vegas also donated nearly 33,000 meals to Three Squares Food Bank.
