We are profoundly grateful to every individual, business, and organization that stands with us.

Because of these partners, we can provide shelter, food, and hope to our Omaha’s most vulnerable.

Berkshire Heroes

We could not have imagined a more extraordinary opportunity than the one graciously made possible by Carrie Sova and Mr. Warren Buffett – donating signed copies of his latest book to raise funds for Stephen Center.

Through this opportunity, we were able to raise $1.3 million—funds that will directly and meaningfully impact the lives of our clients and strengthen our community.

We want to recognize all those who donated through this event:
