DONATE FOOD & OTHER ITEMS


The food pantry of Lutheran Social Services of Nevada relies heavily on food donations to fill our inventory and allow us to distribute as much needed food to struggling Nevadans as possible. The community's generous donations enable us to meet the growing need for nutritious perishable and non-perishable foods.

Please note that Derrick Felder, Lead Case Manager, is now the contact for food pick-up scheduling. He can be reached at derrick@lssnv.org or 702-639-1730.

SPECIAL PANTRY REQUEST: Since it is a very popular food choice, our current supplies of boxes of cereal are low. Cereal donations would be especially appreciated!

Tying in with the annual drive, our theme for July is "The All-American". Suggested items are simple but nutritious: peanut butter and jelly.

While it seems strange in the heat of the summer, school will be starting before we know it! Our theme for August will be "Back to School". Non-perishable items suitable for school lunches would be appreciated, including individually wrapped/packaged snacks, granola bars, fruit roll-ups, raisins, peanut butter crackers, pudding & jell-o cups, fruit cups, & fruit snacks) and individual juice boxes.

Our theme for September is all about the children: "Pink and Blue". Suggested items are anything baby-related: food, formula, bottles, wipes, lotion, soap, and the like. Please do not include diapers, as we are very well stocked with these at the moment.
