Orange Day is a national hunger awareness day initiated by Feeding America as a
kick-off to Hunger Action Month, which takes place annually in September.
Efforts are organized locally by Three Square to raise awareness of the more
than 315,000 individuals in Southern Nevada who are hungry.
Additionally,
hotel marquees, exterior building lights, restaurant menu items, and employee
uniforms at a variety of locations were colored orange in support of the
national initiative. For more information, please visit www.threesquare.org.
