Local pantry.

📣 Calling all LGBTQ+ individuals and families affected by the recent SNAP benefit changes — you are not alone. Omaha ForUs is here to help.

💜 No one in our community should have to go without the essentials they need to live and thrive. From November 5th - November 26th the Pride Pantry individual limit will double to accommodate expected losses. We will need your help to make that happen! 🌈 Visit the Omaha ForUs Linktree to learn how you can support the Pride Pantry: https://linktr.ee/omaha4us

🌽👉Omaha ForUs’ Pride Pantry provides supplemental food and hygiene items to local LGBTQ+ individuals & families in need on a once-a-month basis, when they are unable to safely or comfortably access these items because of their identity. We provide immediate, temporary assistance to qualifying individuals & families of our community experiencing food insecurity, or in need of personal care/hygiene products. Shelf-stable items can be easily selected by qualified persons, with few restrictions. If you need to utilize the Pride Pantry, simply visit Omaha ForUs during the listed open hours (note: the Pride Pantry closes 1 hour before the building closes!), complete some brief paperwork (no ID or proof of income/citizenship needed) and we will provide you with supplemental food/hygiene resources to the best of our ability.
