Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:

1. A group of Las Vegas volunteers, called The Promise, is delivering water and winter gear to the homeless on the weekends. Volunteers also bring supplies to the Community of Hope's pop-up pantry and work with people on restoring their IDs and Social Security cards. The group accepts donations of supplies or clothes to be used in their outreach. (Fox 5 Las Vegas)
2. The well-known Welcome to Las Vegas sign reached its ninth anniversary since converting to solar power in January 2014. The conversion was part of the county's efforts to move towards a sustainable future. The solar panels running the sign on a daily basis are in a cluster nearby. (News3LV)
