Generosity gives everyone power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on. It’s a day for everyone around the world to stand together and give back in all ways, no matter who or where we are.  People can show their generosity in a variety of ways during #GivingTuesdayNow, whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or giving to causes, every act of generosity counts. The global movement will emphasize opportunities to give back to communities and causes in safe ways that allow for social connection even while practicing physical distancing. We wanted to highlight a few ways for you to participate in this great day in our local community. Local ways to giveDigiMart Neighborhood MarketFor over 10 years, LSSN operated a grocery store-style, client-choice food pantry in Las Vegas, allowing homeless and low-income shoppers to feel dignified and choose the food they want to eat. Then in 2016, LSSN decided to go a step further and launched DigiMart, the first fully online digital food pantry in the country. Each year, about half a million pounds of nutritious food is given out to support thousands of our community members through DigiMart. A wide variety of meats, vegetables, fruits, dairy, bread and pastries as well as non-perishable food items are provided to those in need.

The issue was highlighted in a local TV news report that focused on 150 homeless students attending Rancho High School. The shock over this seemingly hidden reality for over 7,500 students in the Las Vegas Valley created a buzz among a network of friends and business colleagues.

Our adoption centers and foster homes continue to provide a safe haven for pets to heal while awaiting their new home.
