LAS VEGAS, Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Team members from Diamond Resorts®, a global leader in the hospitality, vacation ownership and entertainment industries, delivered more than 800 hygiene kits to the U.S.VETS – Las Vegas location on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019, to support local veterans in need of personal necessity items.

U.S.VETS is the nation's largest nonprofit provider of comprehensive services to homeless and at-risk veterans, with 20 residential sites and nine service centers across five states and in Washington D.C.
