Open Door Mission Calls for Food Donations to Feed Homeless During Easter Season

Open Door Mission (www.opendoormission.org) is calling for a community-wide effort to provide food donations with “Share an Easter Meal” from March 30 to April 10 in order to make this Easter season a truly happy one for thousands of hungry men, women, and children experiencing homelessness.

Food donations can be taken to Fareway in Omaha, 17070 Audrey St.; Fareway in Papillion, 1325 Jersey St.; Fareway in Council Bluffs, 310 McKenzie Ave; and SuperSaver in Council Bluffs, 1141 N Broadway. They will have collection bins set up in their stores to collect donated items. All donations must be shelf-stable and unopened. Donors can also provide monetary donations online through Open Door Mission’s website—just $2.15 provides a meal and care to someone in need!

Open Door Mission is a Gospel Rescue Mission founded in 1954 committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty. Each day, Open Door Mission’s campus offers 917 safe, shelter beds to people experiencing homelessness, serves over 4,747 nutritious meals to feed the hungry, and provides homeless preventive resources to more than 1,000 people living in poverty to empower them to remain in their own homes. Questions about food donations can be directed to Kristen Dineen at KDineen@opendoormission.org / (402) 829-1538. To learn more about Open Door Mission, visit www.opendoormission.org.
