To provide additional funding for needy children enrolled in Buffalo County Schools and support those who provide protection and safety for the residents of Kearney, NE and surrounding area.
Our Charities include the Back Pack for Kids that exists in every school in Buffalo County. We also provide Reading Books for Mothers of New Born children that are distributed to both hospitals in Kearney. We fund a scholarship to a Kearney High School graduate who will attend either Central Community College or the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Additionally, we participate in Law Enforcement Appreciation events to show our gratitude to the Kearney Police Department, Buffalo County Sheriffs Department, EMTs and Kearney Volunteer Firefighters.
"A parent wanted to do something fun with her kids using cardboard boxes but lacked supplies. I provided craft items and learned she also needed food, hats, gloves, snow boots, and after-school care, which I was able to provide. She later said, 'Thank you so very much. Words cannot express my gratitude."~Kearney Public School Social Worker
"The donations truly make a significant impact in the lives of our students as something as simple as purchasing a copy of a birth certificate from the state so the student can attend college. The donation fund makes it a simpler process, there there is no worry and kids don't have to question how they will pay for something."~Pleasanton School District
