Bellevue NE Food Pantry

A huge thank you to a friend who stopped by with a fantastic donation of fresh bakery items from Hy-vee on 180th. He was visiting his mother in Bellevue, so stopped by to see us too. These carts full of cakes, donut holes, bread and other delicious treats arrived at the pantry, bringing smiles to both our staff and the families we serve.

These unexpected donations help us provide a little extra joy alongside essential items, and they remind us just how caring and generous our community is. ❤

Thank you for thinking of our neighbors and helping to ensure good food doesn’t go to waste. Your kindness will make a difference for so many families this week.

RESOURCE: from our friends at the Food Bank for the Heartland.

Summer adds additional stress to households, as parents have more meals to provide and fewer resources to meet those needs. Summer EBT helps bridge that gap. Families in Nebraska can receive $120 in benefits per eligible school-age child to use for groceries while school is out. Learn more about the program at: https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Summer-EBT.aspx.

Today is Armed Forces Day, and the Bellevue Food Pantry would like to recognize and thank the active-duty service members, veterans, and military families who are such an important part of our community.

Located just miles from Offutt Air Force Base, we are proud to serve a community deeply connected to military service. Every day, we see the dedication, sacrifice, resilience, and commitment military families bring to Bellevue and Sarpy County.

Strong communities support one another through every season of life. We are honored to be part of a network of care and support that is here for families whenever challenges arise.

To all who serve — thank you for your service, sacrifice, and continued commitment to our country and community.

An organization does not get to be 61 years old without evolving, innovating, making smart decisions, meeting challenges with might, and seizing opportunities at the right time.

It's the Community Action way, and last Friday we reached a hard-earned milestone with an audience of partners, supporters, funders, and ENCAP board and team members: We broke ground at the future home of the Bellevue Food Pantry. THANK YOU to all who were able to join us, and help celebrate this remarkable moment!

The weather was perfect and the energy of giving, goodwill, and generosity was palpable. There was no better time than to get these coveted shovel-in-the-ground pics, and we're excited to begin renovations soon.

Ready to join us? Please visit https://www.bellevuepantry.org/bellevue-food-pantry/donate.html to help us cross the finish line and open our NEW doors in 2027!

We ❤️ this work!
