New studies posted in October 2022 show there are over 5,645 homeless people in Las Vegas, NV. That's a 7% increase over the past years. We have a problem.
Treasure Chest Outreach Inc. in a non-profit organization founded my Cynthia Beard-Sowell. "Our mission is to feed and assist the homeless community in Las Vegas,NV one plate at a time."
The Problem
"There are at least 600 miles of dangerous tunnels in Las Vegas with over a thousand people whom seek shelter there."
Being humane equals to helping others!
Here's what we know
Nearly everyone in the tunnels lives with some sort of addiction, but many have also gathered enough discarded items from above to carve out some semblance of a home. They have beds with bed frames, tables with chairs, coolers and bicycles and barbecue grills — all pulled from curbs or dumpsters. A lot of the beds and bookcases sit on homemade stilts a foot or two off the ground, because when the water comes through, it comes fast and hard, and sometimes Of course, the tunnels can be dangerous when it’s not raining, too. There are knives and guns and irrational people down every shaft. Some sleep burrowed into the smaller concrete pipes that shoot off of the main tunnels. Some residents are hiding from the law. Some are hiding from pimps. Some from their own parents.
No matter what the circumstances we feel its our responsibility to assist in anyway we can.
