Photo Flash: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Cast and More Help Launch Three Square's 'Fill The Plate' for Hunger Action Month

Cindy Williams (Laverne and Shirley), Ricardo Laguna and performers from Strip shows including Showstoppers, Puppet Up!, Baz - Love Never Dies and Million Dollar Quartet and sponsor Boyd Gaming stopped by Three Square Food Bank to help launch the "Fill the Plate," and to invite the community to take action against hunger this September by, you guessed it, filling the plate!

Through September 30, Individuals, businesses and organizations can bring non-perishable food items to Three Square's south warehouse (M-F between 9 a.m.-3 p.m.), drop off the food on the large plate graphic, snap a photo for social media using #FillThePlate and help spread the word throughout Hunger Action Month. Those needing to schedule food donation drop-off times outside of 9 a.m.-3 p.m. should call Bessy Le-Oh at 702.715.2833 to make arrangements.

A virtual food drive will also be open to collect monetary donations (www.threesquare.org/filltheplate). Periodically throughout the campaign, cans and boxes of food will be added to the "plate" to represent the cash donations collected.

The campaign goal is simple: to "Fill The Plate" by the end of the campaign on Sept. 30, when KOMP 92.3 will broadcast live from Three Square from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

"We're grateful for the support of partners like Boyd Gaming and KOMP 92.3 for setting up our Fill the Plate food drive for success," said BrIan Burton, President and CEO of Three Square. "We want everyone in the community that's going to participate to know that every donation they make, no matter the size of the contribution, makes a massive and positive impact on the lives of their fellow Southern Nevadans."

"For nearly 10 years, Boyd Gaming has been proud to support Three Square and its vision of creating a Southern Nevada free of hunger," said MariAnne Johnson, Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President of Boyd Gaming. "As a sponsor of this campaign, Boyd Gaming hopes to raise awareness of the important work that Three Square does, and we invite the Southern Nevada community to join us as we 'Fill The Plate' to end hunger in our community."
