The Just One Project

What The Just One Project does

The Just One Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, that addresses food insecurity and housing instability through a dual-pillar model. The Food For All pillar provides immediate grocery access via a no-cost community market, drive-thru distribution, mobile food markets (serving 10 public schools and 55 senior housing communities monthly), a mobile grocery bus (Groceries on the Go), Meals on Wheels, emergency food assistance, grocery delivery, and the Food Rescue Alliance program that converts Las Vegas convention surplus into meals within two hours. The Community Connect pillar delivers case management, housing assistance (rental support, rapid rehousing, HOPWA, Continuum of Care), and workforce development, with reported outcomes of 90% household self-sufficiency and an average 10-day path from enrollment to permanent housing in 2025.

The organization operates without proprietary technology platforms; its value is generated through physical logistics, volunteer labor, and a curated network of corporate, hospitality, healthcare, government, and federal-agency partners. All client-facing services are provided at no cost. Revenue is derived from individual donations, monthly giving, merchandise sales (Charitable Gangster brand), corporate sponsorships, and federal/state grants, with over 90% of contributions directed to programs. Notable disclosed commitments include up to $5.8 million over five years from Toyota USA Foundation, $100,000 from Pacific West Injury Law, and $50,000 from Caesars Entertainment, alongside ongoing USDA and Nevada Department of Agriculture partnerships.

In 2025 the organization served 444,765 clients and distributed 6,322,113 pounds of groceries across Southern Nevada. It has earned Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating and Candid Platinum Transparency Seal, and its Food Rescue Alliance was recognized by the White House in February 2024 as one of three national models for ending hunger. The organization maintains offices in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas and is led by founder/CEO Brooke Neubauer.

Regional players

• Food Bank of Northern Nevada: Regional food bank serving northern Nevada with mobile pantries, child nutrition, and senior food programs. Comparable in operating model (mobile distribution, partner network) but serves a different geography within the same state.

Direct peers

• United Way of Southern Nevada: Regional umbrella funder and direct service provider in Southern Nevada, addressing food insecurity, housing stability, and financial resilience. Comparable in dual-pillar approach and shared donor/corporate-partner ecosystem.
• God's Love We Deliver: NYC-based nonprofit providing medically tailored home-delivered meals and nutrition services to people living with serious illness. Comparable in meal-delivery programs, senior nutrition services, and social-services wraparound model.
• Food Forward: Southern California nonprofit that recovers surplus produce from farms and markets for redistribution to food-insecure communities. Highly comparable to TJOP's Food Rescue Alliance in its surplus-food-recovery model and logistics.
• Three Square Food Bank: The primary food bank serving the Las Vegas/Southern Nevada region, operating mobile pantries, child nutrition programs, and SNAP outreach. Directly comparable in mission, geography, and service mix to TJOP's Food For All pillar.
