Addressing hunger in the community is a strategic priority for United Way of Western Nebraska. Through the United Food Network we partner with local organizations and businesses to bring food directly to local families. This robust network includes the following United Way Community Impact programs:
Mobile Food Pantries
The Mobile Pantry Program delivers fresh and shelf-stable food directly to communities with a high need but limited food resources. These one-day, drive-through distributions are free to attend. Community packs include various shelf-stable items. Along with community packs, other items distributed can include assorted produce, bread, and dairy products. This program is in partnership with Food Bank of the Heartland.
