LAS VEGAS
Putting its beloved community at the forefront, House of Blues, which was temporarily closed in March, will celebrate its return with the launch of the “Get Some, Give Some” meal-matching campaign to aid in the battle against hunger. For every single entrée purchased for dine in, takeout or delivery, House of Blues will provide one meal to Project 150, whose mission is to provide support and services to homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students so they can remain in school, graduate and build bright futures. Through this philanthropic campaign, House of Blues hopes to provide hundreds of meals to youth in need in their community.
“This has been such a difficult time these past few months, not just for our city but for communities everywhere,” said House of Blues General Manager Will Hodgson. “Our ‘Get Some, Give Some’ campaign will help feed our neighborhoods through our partnership with Project 150. Needed now more than ever, Project 150 does amazing work for our community; and together, we hope to be able to get meals to those struggling.”
Project 150 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, founded in December 2011 by local businessmen Don Purdue and Patrick Spargur. The two had heard about 150 homeless high school students at Rancho High School in Las Vegas who were in need of support over the Christmas break. Since that time, Project 150 has expanded and now serves more than 6,000 registered and non-registered homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students in more than 75 schools throughout Nevada. Project 150 provides these students with food, clothing, school supplies, sports equipment, shoes, college and workforce readiness and other needs so they have what they need to continue school and be successful in life.
