Las Vegas Convention Center and its hospitality partner Sodexo Live! today announced the donation of nearly 1,000 boxed lunches from this year’s CES to local food banks.

Food recovered from the tradeshow was provided to community-based social service agencies supporting food insecure individuals throughout the Las Vegas area, including the Salvation Army of Southern Nevada (618 meals) and Our Savior’s Lutheran Church of Henderson (360 meals), along with hundreds of juices and soft drinks for each, and other perishable items.

“Much of the perishable food product was the result of the show shifting its schedule to end a day early, and the food donation was a good way to draw a positive from the situation and give back to the local community,” said Sodexo Live! Regional Vice President Steven Potts.

“Tradeshows like CES are vital to the Las Vegas destination and charitable donations such as this demonstrate how they leave a lasting legacy in our community,” said Brian Yost, chief operating officer, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
