The city of Las Vegas currently ranks eight among major American metropolitan areas for the largest numbers of homeless people.

While homelessness afflicts people from all walks of life, Project 150 tackles the effect of homelessness on youth and serves more than 6,000 homeless high school students in Nevada.

In unison with our long-term partnership with Habitat For Humanity Las Vegas, we will be taking part in a donation drive for Project 150 to assist in their effort to help the displaced and disadvantaged youth in Las Vegas.

Please join us in helping to serve their mission.

About Project 150
