NON-PROFIT NEWS Child Saving Institute to Host 12th Annual Touch-A-Truck Event
Open Door Mission Searches for Hunger Heroes Across Omaha Metro
Child Saving Institute will host its 12th annual family friendly Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, August 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the First Data/UNO parking lots, just south of 69th & Pacific.
Would you or your business host a food drive to help meet the urgent food needs of our community? August marks Open Door Mission’s annual food collection initiative, Hunger Heroes. They are encouraging local entities to be a “Hunger Hero” by hosting a food drive throughout the month. Through the efforts of this particular food drive as well as others throughout the year, Open Door Mission will provide, on average, 2,100 daily nutritious meals at the community kitchen as well as serving over 1,000 people a day at the Mission’s Manna Food Pantry. Current food needs include boxed meals, canned meat, cereal, and pasta.
This exciting “friend-raiser” is a FREE event for the entire family where children can see and climb on “real life” vehicles! Kids, accompanied by their parents or guardians, can explore emergency and military vehicles, semitrucks, cranes, racecars and other commercial vehicles and talk to the people who operate them. Other activities will include face painting, prizes, bouncy tents, clowns, and more! Special thanks to Touch-A-Truck sponsors Runza, Scheels, and Oriental Trading Company. Child Saving Institute is dedicated to the prevention, intervention, and healing of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment. For 125 years, Child Saving Institute has met the changing needs of metro-area children based on the belief that ALL children should have homes where hope is kindled and dreams can be achieved.
