The Staenberg Omaha JCC, in partnership with the Violet Hour Foundation and Play It Forward, hosted an inclusive sports camp on September 16th. The event welcomed autistic teens, young adults with significant support needs, and caregivers. Participants were paired with student coaches. Together they progressed through various sport activities according to the participants' choice. We are proud to work with these fellow organizations to help create a community where inclusive means all ages and abilities.

Staff from the Jewish Federation of Omaha volunteered at the Heartland Hope for this year’s United Way of the Midlands Day of Caring. Our staff unboxed and organized pallets of donated goods including food, clothing, hygiene and household products. Nearly 500 volunteers across the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro stepped up to support 28 nonprofit partners in 40 hands-on projects. This year’s event coincided with the 25th anniversary of 9/11, bringing special meaning as both a day of service and remembrance.

We are proud that these simple acts of service will help support Heartland Hope Mission as it assists individuals facing difficult circumstances.

40 individuals attended the “Honoring the Aged” event on September 1st. Professor Israel Doron, internationally recognized gerontologist, was the guest speaker. Professor Doron spoke directly to the lived experience of the older adults in attendance, emphasizing the vital role older adults play as active, dignified leaders in our community. His presentation had a profound impact by shifting the narrative around aging from institutional decline to one of empowerment and active dignity. This program was sponsored by a grant from the Shirley and Leonard Goldstein Supporting Foundation and presented by Jewish Family Service in partnership with UNO Department of Gerontology. Jewish Family Service is an agency of the Jewish Federation of Omaha.
