Mary Gets Help
Mary came in for assistance with her utility bill. She met with a caseworker from Together, and during her assessment, we realized that Mary was struggling financially due to high monthly medical bills. We helped Mary get approved for utility assistance to cover her immediate needs, and accompanied her to One World Community Health Center to connect her with their assistance program. We also helped Mary receive reimbursement from Medicare for erroneous charges that she had already paid which totaled nearly $200. |
food bankTogether is a USDA Food Bank Food Banks re-distribute food to pantries and soup kitchens that in turn give food directly to people that are hungry in the community. The largest sources of food are USDA Commodities, for-profit growers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers who in the normal course of business have excess food that they cannot sell. There is considerable overlap with food salvage, food rescue and gleaning.
Together is the only Food Bank in Nebraska that provides its partner agencies access to food FREE of charge.
Together is one of only three federally funded food banks in Nebraska, receiving federal funds from the Department of Health & Human Services and the Department of Agriculture to operate our food bank completely free of charge to area pantries and soup kitchens.
