Our non-profit Philanthropic initiatives

Our CSR charitable initiatives/projects allow us to take a more deliberate approach to doing good and demonstrate our values to meet the mission. We will contribute to meaningful social charitable projects to achieve these goals: 

1)  To take a more active role in shaping our Las Vegas community for the better. 

2) To build more relationships between community members, nonprofits and businesses of all sizes, creating wide-reaching philanthropic networks and support systems.

At this time, we are all participating as a volunteer with no paid employees and our projects are funded by generous donors and members. We appreciate your support! 

Las Vegas Okinawan Club has several partnerships with local nonprofits and communities to better serve our Southern Nevada community! Our community service initiatives include: 

1. Shannon West Youth Homeless Center - Dessert /baking goods delivery to Shannon West Youth Homeless Center once a month together with Ninth Island Aunties.
