We thank you so much for your continued support and we will keep you informed of these new and exciting changes.

Thank you to Check City and their fantastic food drive. Throughout the month of October, the 27 Southern Nevada branches have been collecting food for Caring 4 Kids Foundation. The community donated more than 10,000 food items and $1,000. Check City decided to tripple the cash donation...that's $3,000! The much-needed food and donations brought in by Check City are already in distribution to the kids and families of the Las Vegas Valley! Thank you, again!

Symantec Corporation Celebrates Back To School
A massive Thank You goes out to the more than 1,800 engineers of Symantec Corporation. The generous men and women attended their yearly conference at MGM Grand late August. The leaders of the corporation wanted to give back to the city that was hosting them.
This amazing company donated 600 adult-size back packs, school supplies and money to help area homeless and in-need children. With this donation, we were able to issue all of 12 schools we service all of the back packs their children needed!
Symantec Corporation, a computer programing company, didn't have to reach out to the Las Vegas community. We are touched that they did and could not be more proud to consider them official Community Partners.
