Event recap
Help Feed Local Families
$100,000 distributed to strengthen food access
United Way of the Midlands is pleased to partner with Mayor John Ewing, the City of Omaha and other community partners to support our neighbors affected by uncertainty around SNAP benefits. This community response to a challenge many of our neighbors are facing will help stabilize families who are already struggling to make ends meet – due to rising costs, fewer resources and local programs seeing record-high demand for assistance.
In the midst of uncertainty, your generosity can make a meaningful difference.
Many families are facing unknowns and local nonprofits continue to see increased demand for food assistance and essential support.
By joining us today, your gift will support United Way of the Midlands’ trusted food-security partners—with 100% of donations going directly to help individuals and families access the food they need.
In moments like these, United Way and our partners are here to provide steadiness, care and connection.
