Elaine Wynn, director of Wynn Resorts, announced a $1 million donation to Three Square Food Bank on Thursday morning.

The money will help continue the food bank’s BackPack for Kids program, which provides bags of food to needy children in the Clark County School District so that they have food to eat over the weekend.

Wynn said the donation was a personal gift from her and resort developer Steve Wynn as part of her work with the Communities in Schools organization.
