With recent devastation from flooding, more families than ever need our help to get back on their feet. That’s why this Omaha Gives! we’re asking YOU to support Basic Needs programs and help your neighbors build a better life.
BUY A KIT FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
Help us purchase items for 500 kits that will be delivered to local shelters.
Choose between a hygiene or transitional housing kit and support families who have been affected by recent flooding or who have fallen on difficult times. Kits will be delivered to shelters such as Siena/Francis House and Micah House, and will help restore individuals’ hope and dignity.
