We all know this is a hectic time of year!
Despite the busy-ness, it’s the perfect time for you to get involved with Giving Tuesday (this year on November 28, 2023), the year’s biggest day of philanthropy here locally in the Greater Omaha/Council Bluffs metro and across the globe.
Town and Country Animal Rescue believes in giving every animal a chance. TCHS is a nonprofit, "no time limit" shelter serving eastern Nebraska and beyond. They rescue dogs and cats from high kill shelters and bring them to Omaha for placement in loving, forever homes.
On October 23, 2023, we asked SHARE Omaha nonprofit members two questions: How does your fundraising compare to this time in 2022 and how many new $100 donors do you need?
Thanks to the 149 respondents, this is what we learned:
Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha (RMHC) provides a safe and caring home-away-from-home for families of children receiving treatment in Omaha-area medical facilities. Families are stronger when together, and this is never more important than when a child is sick or injured.
RMHC serves an average of 165 families per year and on a nightly basis, almost 40 guests eat dinner in their Home.
Metro Young Latino Professionals (MYLPA) amplifies the power of Latinos through civic and professional engagement.
MYPLA invites you to join them in supporting young and first-time college students by shopping their wish list and sending items for students.

Earlier this month, we heard from CQuence Health CEO Mike Cassling about their investment in community impact. One of the ways the company invests is by offering volunteer time off (VTO) as a key benefit for CQuence Health employees.
We wanted to hear more. How is this VTO benefit being used by CQuence Health employees?
A 5-year-old spent two hours volunteering at Open Door Mission, sorting toys and restocking shelves. These are the thoughts he shared on the drive home, about volunteering and helping others:
NAMI Omaha is the local National Alliance on Mental Illness affiliate which provides education, support and advocacy to consumer, family members and friends in the Cass, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington counties in Nebraska. They offer free support groups and education for persons with mental health challenges and for their family and friends, and educational events.
This episode of #ShopforGood, presented by Wells Fargo, shares how gift cards support NAMI Omaha programs.
During our October nonprofit gathering we asked nonprofit attendees to tell us, "What's your why?"
Project Harmony is the resource for child abuse services and training in the Omaha metro area and surrounding communities. They help community members protect and support the most vulnerable among us - restoring courage, facilitating healing and empowering community members to be someone in the life of a child.
We asked Project Harmony to tell us about a superstar volunteer and we heard all about Lachelle. Naturally, we had to hear from Lachelle why she is so giving of her time!
