This past year marked a powerful season of growth and impact for Chabad of Omaha (ochabad.com). At the heart of this work is the Kitchen of Kindness, which delivered more than 2,000 acts of care through meals, wellness check-ins and personal outreach. Over 1,200 homemade challah and meals were prepared and delivered to homebound neighbors, while new take-and-go grocery options ensured continued support during the food pantry’s transition toward a full reopening this spring.
Community involvement made this impact possible. Nearly 150 volunteer shifts were contributed by individuals of all ages and abilities, creating a shared culture of service rooted in empathy and action. As
the need for hands-on community care continues to grow, Chabad of Omaha is actively seeking volunteers to support meal preparation, deliveries, wellness outreach and community programs. Those interested in volunteering can learn more and sign up through Share Omaha at shareomaha.org/nonprofit/chabad-nebraska.
Chabad also served as a gathering place, hosting more than 180 events, classes, and programs designed to bring people together through learning, celebration and meaningful connection. Through 16 new community partnerships, Chabad expanded its reach and amplified its mission—working alongside schools, nonprofits and local businesses to better serve individuals and families. As the year closes, Chabad’s impact tells a clear story: community care grows strongest when compassion, collaboration and connection lead the way.
