Meals on Wheels America, Caesars and The Just One Project start Las Vegas food-rescue partnership
The groups said surplus food from Meals on Wheels America’s Las Vegas conference will be repackaged and redistributed across Southern Nevada.
Meals on Wheels America, Caesars Entertainment and The Just One Project said on Aug. 18 that they are partnering on a Southern Nevada food-rescue effort tied to Meals on Wheels America’s 52nd Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas.
The groups said surplus food from the four-day conference at Caesars Palace will be repackaged and redistributed across Southern Nevada. They said the effort is intended to increase access to ready-to-eat meals and reduce food waste.
The release said the donated food will go to families, seniors, nonprofit partners and community organizations in need. The Just One Project said its Food Rescue Alliance helps provide prepared meals left over from meetings, conventions and events to people who can use them.
Meals on Wheels America said its network supports about 5,000 community-based providers that address senior hunger and isolation.
Meals on Wheels America described itself as a national leadership organization working with local providers nationwide. Caesars Entertainment said it is the largest casino entertainment company in the U.S. and identified itself as having a ticker symbol of NASDAQ:CZR. The Just One Project said it is a Southern Nevada nonprofit focused on food, resources and supportive services.
Ellie Hollander, president and CEO of Meals on Wheels America, said the organization’s mission is to make sure no senior is left without nutritious meals and connection, and that fighting food insecurity at scale is a top priority.
Kiersten Flint, Caesars Entertainment’s senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and internal communications, said the partnership is intended to expand impact and strengthen communities while advancing corporate social responsibility and sustainability.
Brooke Neubauer, founder and CEO of The Just One Project, said the Food Rescue Alliance helps turn unused, untouched prepared food into community impact.
The release did not say how much food will be recovered or how many people will receive meals.
What comes next is the redistribution of the conference surplus throughout Southern Nevada through the food-rescue partnership.
