Well, it has been over 2 weeks since our 2nd Annual Big Summer Fundraiser and wow, what a success it was! With over 350 supporters in attendance, we rocked out to 80’s jams performed live by AM/FM, sampled some amazing food and danced the night away! It was even better than we imagined and we look forward to next year’s event! Together, we raised more than $10K for our mission to help Nebraskans in need! Now the real work begins…
We are now in the process of scheduling our coat drives and distributions for the coming season. We know we will be able to count on our consistent partners such as CIP, The Lund Company and The Seldin Company in addition to many others. We are also reaching out to other companies and organization who can help us collect enough coats to meet the overwhelming need. If you think your company would be interested in hosting a coat drive, please email me at dave@awarmerday.org so we can discuss it. We need coats!
On the distribution side, we expect that we will once again be partnering with The F Street Community Center, Nebraska City Public Schools, The Barnabus Project, and Blue Valley. We have been in discussions with several new distribution points as well and hope to announce those partnerships soon! If you are aware of an organization who would like to work with us on a coat distribution, please contact dave@awarmerday.org. Remember, we also do direct distribution so if you know someone who could use a warm winter coat, please have them reach out, or you can get the coats from us for them.
As we get into our busy season, our need for volunteers will only grow. Specifically, we are seeking volunteers in the Omaha area who can help us transport coat and find partners in that city. Please reach out if you know of anyone who may be able to assist.
Thank you for your support of A Warmer Day! Enjoy these last days of summer!!
