Smith's Nevada grocery stores donated a collective 5,040 gallons of water to Southern Nevada charities on August 18.
Beneficiaries of the water included Three Square Food Bank, The Shade Tree, Salvation Army of Southern Nevada, Westcare, Nevada SPCA, Las Vegas Rescue Mission, and Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada.
"The Valley has been extremely hot this summer, and agencies are stretched to help those who are living without enough water. We hope this contribution will help to get them through the tough weather,” said Marsha Gilford, vice president of public affairs for Smith’s.
