We are a private, non-profit organization serving 27 counties in south central Nebraska and two counties in Kansas. A critical need for the agency is to raise additional funds for our Community Action Food Bank. In order to address the growing need for access to healthy foods, Mid implemented the Mobile Produce Pantry in July of 2017. This program addresses the issue of food insecurity within our communities while also aiming to provide healthy food options as well. We use our Food Bank's refrigerated truck to deliver healthy produce to one community within Buffalo County every other week. Due to the need for the program, we have also expanded to serve Minden and Holdrege. This produce is at no cost to the community. The focus is to serve primarily low-to-moderate-income individuals with healthy produce obtained through our partnership agreement with Food Bank for the Heartland out of Omaha, NE as well as food obtained through our Food Rescue program and general food donations. In 2024, we started our 11th Street Food Pantry located at the Food Bank in Kearney open on the weeks that we don't have a Mobile Produce pantry.

We would welcome donations to our other programs in the Kearney area as well. These include:
• Commodity Supplemental Food Program (providing food packages to seniors)
• Early Head Start/Head Start
• Homeless Prevention Program
• Immunization Program
• Life Skills - Educational Scholarships for CNA/Med Aide, CDL, and welding
• RYDE Transit
• Weatherization
• Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
