The 2025 Night of the Witches HELP staff and Volunteers!
HELP of Southern Nevada began as the Voluntary Action Center through the efforts of the Junior League of Las Vegas. In 1970 HELP was incorporated and was initially founded to connect those in need of services with those in the community providing services by offering information and referrals. In 1972 HELP published the first edition of the Community Services Directory.
