This is the most important fundraiser of the year, and your help is crucial to make it a great success. The funds raised at this event will help have a profound impact on families struggling to make ends meet, as well as those recovering from widespread flooding, tornadoes, and power outages in Nebraska and Iowa. 

These back-to-back disasters, coupled with compounding effects of inflation, have left our community facing unimaginable hardships. Please consider a generous sponsorship, or attend as an individual and partner with us to bring hope to our community. Your generosity has the power to transform destinies. 

“Supporting our annual fundraising gala is crucial, as Heartland Hope Mission has seen a staggering 227% increase in pantry clients since 2021, highlighting the growing community need due to inflation. Our services are vital in preventing homelessness and ensuring children have access to nutritious food. We’re also on the front lines of disaster relief, providing immediate aid and long-term support to families impacted by local tornadoes and flooding. Many families lost everything due to these disasters, and those with no flood insurance or FEMA assistance, have relied on us to help get them back on their feet. Your generosity ensures we can continue offering these critical services to those most in need,” says Pastor Chelsea Salifou, CEO of Heartland Hope Mission.

Join us for an unforgettable night of hope on October 10th at “The Stars Among Us” Fundraising Gala! Buy Tickets or Become a Sponsor here.
