As we enter this new year, this is the perfect time to not only introduce myself but also re-introduce you to SHARE Omaha.
I, Teresa Mardesen, am the new executive director of SHARE Omaha. My first day on the job was the day before Giving Tuesday… talk about a whirlwind welcome!
Here at SHARE Omaha, alongside our partners at SHARE Iowa, we are celebrating the generosity of our region on Giving Tuesday. You raised over $4.2 million dollars for our local nonprofits! In addition, you gave to nonprofits that were new-to-you, more than 1,800 times. The nonprofits you supported also recruited over one hundred new volunteers and received over 27,000 wish list items.

I have had a blast working with SHARE Omaha as their Giving Tuesday Intern this past semester, learning valuable skills and working towards strengthening my community through positive work. This was my first Giving Tuesday, and I am glad that I was able to spend it highlighting the meaning of generosity and what it means to give back.
