YES Announces $10K Gift from American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation
Youth Emergency Services (YES, www.yesomaha.org) is excited to announce it has received a $10,000 gift from the American Family Dreams Foundation to support YES’ Emergency Shelter.
“We are so grateful to once again receive this grant from American Family Insurance Dream’s Foundation, which does so much to give back to the community,” said Director of Development Barb Farho. “As life continues to be challenging due to the pandemic, it is encouraging to know that people are still focused on how they can help.”

Youth Emergency Services is the only nonprofit in Omaha with the sole mission to help youth experiencing homelessness and near-homelessness. Last year, YES provided support and services to more than 1,000 youth in the Omaha metro area. Many of these youth have been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused, making it unsafe for them to return home. Without YES, these vulnerable young people cannot succeed independently. YES offers a full continuum of care to ensure all youth receive the support they need, no matter their situation. This includes a Street Outreach Center, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Living program, Maternity Group Home and Rapid Rehousing program. Learn more about YES at www.yesomaha.org.
