Las Vegas Valley Holiday Resources Guide: Meals, Support, Events, and More

As the holiday season approaches, many families across Southern Nevada look for ways to access meals, support, and inclusive events. To make things a little easier, we’ve gathered a list of local resources available throughout November and December, including food assistance, holiday meals, sensory-friendly events, and community programs.

Please note: Not all activities may be suitable for every child or family. Availability may change, and some programs require registration. This list is provided as a community resource; the Ackerman Center is not liable for injury or dissatisfaction with selected events.
