No More Empty Pots
The mission of No More Empty Pots is to connect individuals and groups to improve self-sufficiency, regional food security and economic resilience of urban and rural communities through advocacy and action. We support communities in becoming self-sufficient and food secure through a systems approach to solutions.
This year in 2024, the theme of our Giving Tuesday and End-of-Year Campaign is "Journey of Becoming". This past year has been a journey. Like diamonds formed with pressure, we are made stronger—transforming, adapting, and shining brighter every day with love. You can learn more about our campaign by visiting www.nmepomaha.org/eoy/.
Every gift matters. A donation now makes lasting change. Your gift of $100 will purchase a textbook for a student in the Culinary Certificate Program or cover costs to purchase 60 pounds of seasonal produce from a local farmer.
No More Empty Pots programs provide culinary training, gardening education, food distribution and business coaching. Your Journey of Becoming gift makes sustainable impact possible. See what was made possible in 2024 thanks to supporters like you:
