Directions
Food Bank for the Heartland is Nebraska and Iowa's largest food bank and distributes food to over 500 food pantries, schools, emergency shelters, and other nonprofit partners. Their mission is to eliminate hunger in the Heartland by ensuring consistent access to healthy foods through community partnerships.
The Nebraska Mortgage Association is proudly working to fight hunger by finding 20 NMA members and associates who can help by volunteering at Food Bank for the Heartland in Omaha on Tuesday, December 3rd.
Our group's volunteer project will likely be involved with the preparation needed to transport and distribute food to pantry partners, such as sorting donating product, stocking shelves, etc.:
