Carson City, NV – Nevada Attorney
General Aaron D. Ford, his sons and his Law Enforcement Community Liaison
Investigators (LECLI) partnered with Empowered Café and Three Square Food Bank
to deliver 40 turkeys and other food items to several families throughout the
Las Vegas valley this week.
"The Coronavirus Pandemic has severely
impacted our state, and many of our fellow Nevadans will have a hard time
gathering the items needed to celebrate this holiday," said AG Ford. "Here in the
Attorney General’s Office, we are family, and that family extends to our
brothers and sisters in need. In times of struggle, I couldn’t be prouder to
lead an office that serves Nevadans during and beyond business hours.”
LECLI is a group of Investigators from within
our office that helps to carry out one of AG Ford’s priority areas of community
engagement. These investigators are dedicated to bridging the gap between the
community and law enforcement. They are also tasked with fostering relationships
with local, federal and state law enforcement agencies.
This
year, as a part of an annual tradition, the office also raised money for a
northern Nevada organization called F.I.S.H. (Friends In Service Helping). Our
office was honored to donate approximately $1800 to F.I.S.H. that will be used
to provide meals and services to those in need during these challenging times.
