Food Bank for the Heartland
Delicious food aside, the best part of this annual event is that participants will be dining for a cause as Omaha Restaurant Week continues to support Food Bank for the Heartland. All participating restaurants donate 5% of all Omaha Restaurant Week menu item sales to the Food Bank.
Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, Food Bank for the Heartland is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to eliminate hunger in the Heartland by ensuring consistent access to healthy foods through community partnerships. The Food Bank works with more than 500 Network Partners in 93 counties across Nebraska and western Iowa. Currently, 1 in 7 individuals and 1 in 5 children are facing hunger in the Heartland. These are the highest numbers they’ve seen in their history.
