Through fun events and generous donations, we gather the resources and volunteers needed to buy, assemble, and deliver Thanksgiving meals to over 2000 local families in need.
The Problem
Hunger Hits Home
In Clark County Nevada, food insecurity affects 274,430 people. 1 in every 6 children face the uncertainty of not knowing where their next meal will come from.
These aren’t just statistics; they are families, friends, coworkers, and neighbors in our community that are currently experiencing hunger.
At Thanksgiving Heroes Las Vegas, we find these figures not only alarming but unacceptable. That’s why each year we strive to make a difference in the lives of those facing hunger in our local communities. One meal at a time…
Our Mission
What We Do About It
While we’d love to combat hunger entirely, we’ve started by making a difference on one very important day: Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is unique because it’s about coming together for a meal. Sharing food with loved ones is at the center of celebration, not expensive gifts or grand parades. While Thanksgiving evokes joy for many of us, it can magnify distress of those facing food insecurity.
We believe every family deserves to experience the warmth and joy of a Thanksgiving meal.
Our goal is simple: No table goes empty on Thanksgiving.
What You Can Do
making our goal a reality
We could not even come close to making an impact without the help of people like you year round. By volunteering, donating, or nominating a family in need – you will be the hero our community needs this holiday season.
Let’s feed more in 2024, TOGETHER.
*Nomination and Volunteer forms are not yet open. If you’d like to help today, a donation of any kind would make a difference*

Las Vegas Thanksgiving Heroes is all about neighbors helping neighbors. Every year, people from all over Vegas come together to ensure that families in need get a delicious Thanksgiving meal. But we’re not just about the big holiday feast—our meal kits go out all year round. Families in tough situations are nominated by schools, clubs, churches, and more. Then, an amazing team of volunteers steps up to deliver the meals. It’s more than just food; it’s about the love and connections we build along the way. Families helping families—that’s what Thanksgiving Heroes is all about in Las Vegas!
