Goodfellows holiday meal vouchers, providing $50 or $100 gift cards to Bakers, help Omaha-area families address food insecurity with dignity. Administered by United Way of the Midlands in partnership with Omaha World-Herald, the program has supported families for over 130 years. Beneficiaries like Jeri Janz, now volunteer coordinator at Together, recall the relief and empowerment of choosing groceries their families would enjoy during tough times. With 35% of Omaha families facing food insecurity, these vouchers offer more than food — they provide hope and respect.
