At Hebron Transitional Housing on South Las Vegas Boulevard, residents say one week they had a lifeline, and the next they had bare shelves and locked doors. After a recent management change, tenants report that the onsite food pantry, clothing closet and access to the community kitchen were abruptly shut down, cutting off services that veterans, seniors on fixed incomes and low-wage workers had come to rely on.
"It was just gone, gone. G-O-N-E, gone," resident Susan Reams told reporters, describing how the pantry and clothing closet disappeared without warning. Tenants say regular deliveries from local food bank Three Square, which had helped keep grocery bills in check, have also been halted at the property, and several residents reported immediate financial strain. Until last week, the site was operated by Caridad Charities, and residents and reporters say the nonprofit gave up control of the property because of funding problems. The new owners did not respond to attempts to reach them, according to News 3.
Caridad Charities describes Hebron on its website as a 124-unit complex serving low-income renters, veterans and seniors, and business records show the nonprofit renewed a lease for the property late last year. That renewal, which runs through Oct. 31, 2026, was detailed by VegasInc, making the sudden handoff and service cuts especially jarring for residents and advocates who believed the site was on stable footing. Caridad Charities outlines the original mission and target population for the property.
Where residents can turn for help
For tenants now wondering how to fill the gap, food bank Three Square operates a Food Finder map, pop-up TEFAP distributions and a central hotline that connects people to emergency groceries and meal sites throughout Southern Nevada. Hebron residents who once depended on the building’s onsite deliveries are being directed to check those listings or call the organization to find the nearest available food assistance. Three Square
In the meantime, residents say they are trying to take care of each other. Reams is organizing a neighborhood food drive, while neighbors with cars have been ferrying others to offsite pantries. Tenants told reporters that donations can be dropped at the property’s management office as they work to patch together support in the absence of the former pantry and clothing closet. News 3
Those grassroots efforts come at a time when Southern Nevada food banks say they are already under pressure. Three Square has reported that demand for food assistance climbed by roughly 16% in recent months, and the regional food bank moved more than 52 million pounds of food in 2025, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Against that backdrop, the disappearance of a coordinated onsite pantry at a 124-unit housing complex lands especially hard on tenants who depended on it.
Residents say they are still waiting for a clear explanation from the new owners or local agencies about why services vanished so abruptly. For now, neighbors and nonprofits are scrambling to keep cupboards from going empty, and this story will be updated if officials or management provide further comment.
