Raiders Helped Las Vegas Families in Need

The Las Vegas Raiders teamed up with Smith’s and took local families in need to a holiday shopping spree.

In the season of giving, the Las Vegas Raiders and Smith’s Food & Drug Stores hosted local families on a “Holiday Huddle” shopping spree.

Families were selected by Project 150, a Nevada nonprofit organization that provides support and services to disadvantaged high school students.

Center Andre James, guard Alex Leatherwood, tackle Brandon Parker, and long snapper Trent Sieg were among the players attending the event, alongside Raiderettes Kristina, Maddie, Madyson, and Whitney.

The families hosted at the event have struggled during the pandemic to make ends meet and in a time of need, each family received a $1,000 Smith’s gift card to purchase groceries, clothes, and toys.

With the help of Smith’s staff members, each family was accompanied by Raiders players and Raiderettes during the holiday shopping spree.

On Thanksgiving, the Raiders teamed up with Smith’s to provide meals to food-insecure Southern Nevada families.

This marks a commitment to local communities in Southern Nevada, as the Raiders, the Raiders Foundation, and Smith’s have made financial donations to help support families in need during the holiday season.
