LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - An effort to match volunteer opportunities and donation offers with organizations in need, highlight efforts to support each other in response to COVID-19, and bring mobile dance parties to local neighborhoods to boost spirits and provide a burst of exercise and stress relief was unveiled by the County on Monday.

Information about the "In It Together Southern Nevada" wcan be found at www.InItTogetherSNV.com, a collaboration involving Clark County, area cities and partnering agencies.

Public and participating agencies are encouraged to share information about people and organizations in Southern Nevada doing inspiring things to help our community using the hashtags #InItTogetherSNV, #StayStrong and #StayHomeForNevada. Photos, videos and stories nominating locals to be recognized can be emailed to the website for sharing at ContactUs@InItTogetherSNV.com.

In conjunction with the effort, The Clark County Parks and Recreation Department is seeking to boost community spirits and provide a burst of exercise and stress relief by bringing socially distanced driveway dance parties to local neighborhoods. The department has outfitted a van, complete with a DJ and public address system, to roll into local neighborhoods interested in hosting a dance party visit.

The dance mobile operates on weekdays and can be scheduled as staffing permits to visit neighborhoods to play a song or two to encourage residents to wave to their neighbors and show off their dance moves all while staying home and maintaining a safe distance apart. Residents can step outside their front doors to their porches, patios or front yards, or stay inside and join in by demonstrating support through their living room windows.
