Who Can Visit?

Lutheran Social Services of Nevada (LSSN) serves people in Clark County, Southern Nevada, including the Las Vegas metro area, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. The food pantry welcomes walk-ins during pantry hours. You'll need to register when you visit for the first time, so bring your documents with you.

How to Register?

When you come for the first time, bring identification for each family member, your Social Security details, proof of income, and proof of address if you can. A reviewer noted that birth certificates, Social Security cards, and a Nevada ID are also helpful to have on hand. Fill out a few forms when you arrive, and after that your first visit will be complete.

Items Needed for Registration

Here's what to bring on your first visit:

  • Identification for each family member
  • Social Security card for each household member
  • Proof of income (such as SSI, SSD, or other income)
  • Proof of address
  • Birth certificate (helpful to have)
  • Nevada ID

How Often You Can Visit?

You can pick up food every two weeks. After your first visit, the team will give you a date and time to return for more food.

Good to Know

The pantry hours can change from time to time, so it's a good idea to check their Facebook page for the most up-to-date schedule before you go. The pantry is closed on holidays. Your first visit may take a few hours, so plan ahead and bring water. If you arrive when the front doors are locked but have an appointment, contact staff upon arrival and they will let you in.

Food & Essentials

LSSN offers a wide range of groceries to help you and your family. Reviewers have mentioned receiving large amounts of meat, including tri-tip and chicken, as well as produce and other grocery items. The pantry also has a digital ordering system where you can choose your food items from a computer, so you can pick things that work best for your household.

LSSN also offers the SheCares Initiative, which provides beautiful purses filled with hygiene and personal care items for women. SheCares is available right in the pantry.

How to Pick Up

The pantry uses a computer-based ordering system. When you come in, you'll select your food items on a digital screen. A reviewer described it as being able to "pick your items on a computer." Staff and volunteers will guide you through the process.
