Looking to Volunteer?

Through Urban Abbey's partnership with Keep Omaha Beautiful's Adopt a Block program, we will be gathering once a month to keep our block at 10th and Jackson downtown nice and clean!

This is a family friendly event and a great way to give back to your community. All necessary supplies will be provided.
