Packs Of Promise

About

Packs of Promise. Simple concept, extraordinary results. For $35, the price of a night out on the town, you can provide a backpack filled with winter gear to someone who will be spending their night on our city streets.

The concept originated as a result of several conversations in 2006 around tangible ways for folks to give back. It has since expanded to include some of Omaha’s most creative and passionate minds in business.

Do your part. Make the $35 donation, then send the link along to friends, family and co-workers. Be a part of the grassroots movement to shift the way we address our city’s homeless population.
