LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Vegas Stronger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Las Vegas by addressing the root causes of substance use and mental illness, is excited to announce two generous grants from the Raiders Foundation and Intermountain Health, totaling $20,000. These contributions will significantly enhance the organization's critical work in providing free treatment and resources to individuals in need.

In 2024, Vegas Stronger made substantial strides in its mission to support individuals on their journey to recovery, admitting over 1.6k individuals for treatment. This year also marked a significant increase in community support, with private and corporate monetary donations totaling $168,883 and in-kind donations totaling $171,321. This does not include the over $2M in government grants and awards received in 2024.

The Raiders Foundation has awarded Vegas Stronger a $10,000 grant which will go towards their Recovery Fitness program, part of its holistic treatment approach. Physical health and wellness play an essential role in the recovery process for individuals overcoming homelessness and substance use disorders. With these funds, Vegas Stronger will be able to further integrate fitness into the treatment plans of its clients, emphasizing the importance of a healthy body and mind as a foundation for long-term success.

“Thank you to the Raiders Foundation for supporting the fitness program within Vegas Stronger,” said David Marlon, cofounder and CEO of Vegas Stronger. “We recognize that in many cases a fitness regimen is even better than a pharmacological regimen to address depression and this award will help us continue providing our clients with innovative fitness solutions to address their mental health needs.”

Additionally, Intermountain Health has committed $10,000 to fund a Mobile Response Team that will transport individuals from hospitals to Vegas Stronger’s facilities for behavioral health treatment. This service aims to reduce emergency department visits, ensure that individuals receive appropriate care referrals, and provide integrated care coordination, crisis stabilization, intensive case management, and peer support.

“Intermountain Health’s generous donation will help us connect individuals in need with the right treatment at the right time,” said Marlon. “By delivering services directly to people in crisis and providing a seamless transition from hospital care to our programs, we can make a profound impact on both individual lives and the overall health of our community.”

In 2024, Vegas Stronger’s work reached new heights, with a significant increase in the number of individuals served and a remarkable number of clients achieving graduation milestones. In total since its launch, the nonprofit has helped over 2,200 individuals with 150 clients graduating during special ceremonies to celebrate their hard work in achieving sobriety, stable housing, employment, and overall wellness.
