Help Us Fill the Snap Gap
DONATE NOW


Nebraska SNAP benefits have been paused as of today, October 29, 2025, due to the federal government shutdown. Families in our community are facing an immediate food crisis and have turned to Catholic Charities.

The state of Nebraska has listed Catholic Charities of Omaha as one of the leading food pantries in Omaha to help our neighbors during this time. We are preparing for a sharp increase in pantry visits, and we are asking for your help.

In addition to Catholic Charities filling the snap gap, we understand the importance of collaboration and community support during times of crisis. While we provide a wide range of assistance, we recognize that certain needs may require specialized resources beyond our scope. That’s why we also work closely with other local organizations and agencies to ensure that all necessary services are readily available to those in need.

We’re committed to connecting individuals and families with the vital support they require.

By utilizing partnerships with diverse service providers, we strengthen our collective ability to meet the diverse needs of our community, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey toward restoration and resilience.
