“The outpouring of compassion and support for victims of the 1 October shooting continues to touch us,” said Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak. “This exhibit is an opportunity to share with our community and the victims of the shooting a sampling of the ways in which those affected have been embraced by people around the world.”
 
The exhibit also serves as an outreach effort to encourage anyone affected by 1 October to reach out to the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center to learn about its services.
