Americorps Together Service

Be a Together Change Maker! Together operates under the principle that food is a human right and all should have access to culturally appropriate food. Together offers a high-dignity and nutrition-oriented food pantry for food insecure individuals and families in the Omaha and Council Bluffs areas. Together's Americorps members have a wide range of opportunities to serve the Metropolitan Omaha community. Members will assist in daily pantry operations, guiding community members through the Choice Food Pantry at the main and satellite locations, design and assemble food pantry orders and deliver for the Home Delivery Program, support Together's environmental engagement, plan, plant and harvest from Together's Community Gardens, plan and assist in events such as the MLK Day of Service, Juneteenth, and other community outreach events.
