Three Square Food Bank
Daisy Sahagun
What is food insecurity? According to the United States Department of Agriculture, food insecurity is “a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. In other words, food insecurity is “the lack of access to enough food.” How is food insecurity a social problem? Food insecurity is a social problem because there are over 279,000 individuals within Southern Nevada that struggle with hunger. Chronic food insecurity, due to poverty, can result in a nutrition-poor diet and can be difficult to manage “diet-related chronic diseases.” Site approach to issue Three Square Food Bank has provided a service plan to include an infrastructure needed to collect, sort, store and distribute enormous quantities of food and grocery product.

Aldeane Comito Ries Elementary School
Ashley Mullins
While I volunteered in a kindergarten classroom, the real problem is that Nevada doesn’t spend enough money on preschools which leads to children coming into kindergarten without the proper level of knowledge (Takashi). Part of this problem is that students come into kindergarten with delays in language and vocabulary (Rogers). I addressed this issue by helping the students with their letters and encouraging them to read the signs that the kindergarten teacher at Ries Elementary School had up around the classroom. Nevada has also only recently implemented standards for preschool (Gwertz). However, this doesn’t seem to make a difference as a lot of the students in the kindergarten classroom I volunteered in still had many students who were all at different levels in their education despite being taught together in the same classroom. I believe the issue can be fixed by implementing a program before or after school that helps students who didn’t attend preschool catch up to their peers.
