And we need your participation! You can help us quite literally “stuff the bus” on site with non-perishable donations for those in need.
Who Is It For?
This annual food drive is an easy and impactful way to help fight hunger in our community. All donations will be given to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, which served more than 13,000 metro area families. Established by the Catholic Church in 1833, St. Vincent de Paul is a faith-based non-profit organization that aims to help those in need of food, clothing and emergency financial assistance. Here in Omaha, the organization provides a number of programs for the community, including conferences, thrift stores, a pantry and pantry garden, and the Holy Family Community Center.
What Do I Bring?
All non-perishable items are greatly appreciated, but there is a special need for the following items:
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Beans (canned or dried)
Meal Starters (e.g. Hamburger Helper)
Pancake Mix
Canned Meat/Fish
Canned Vegetables
Cereal
Oatmeal
Pasta and Pasta sauce
Crackers
Mac and Cheese
Baking Mixes
Toilet Paper
Diapers
Laundry Soap
Where Do I Go?
In addition to the drop-off location at Methodist’s Women’s Hospital, NP Dodge is hosting a drop-off location at our office on 87th and Dodge (see map here).
Donating is easy and contact-free! Simply pull into the parking lot, follow the signs, pop open your trunk, and our volunteers will collect your donations and transport them where it needs to go. Stuff the Bus is quite literally a food drive, as there is no need to get out of your vehicle!
The parking lot will be teeming with NP Dodge agents and staff member volunteers — so you may see a familiar face or two!
We’ll See You on June 2
