In honor of America 250, we have set a goal to achieve 250 donors pledging $250 to the Community Campaign. For less than a Pumpkin Spiced Latte each week, you can create change in the Kearney area for neighbors in need! Less than $5 per week!

When you pledge $250 (or more) to the Community Campaign for 2026-2027, you will be acknowledged on our star chart which will be displayed on social media and hung in our office. Will you be a star for the Kearney Area?

Because we rise by lifting others. We give so that others can enjoy the benefits we often take forgranted. United We Stand. United is the Way.
