Making a Difference

Help us help our Community!


There is nothing like seeing the smile on a child's face as they show off their accomplishment, or the relief when a senior receives a box of fresh produce.


We strive to do better and offer more, whether it's bringing entertainment to families, services to seniors, or providing social and educational opportunities for our youth. Join us in making Kearney a better place.
