Twenty-eight Friends gave in support of Friends of Foundation for the 2018 Omaha Gives! The 24-hour charitable giving day powered by the Omaha Community Foundation took place Wednesday, May 23, 2018. 

Omaha Gives! is an annual 24-hour charitable challenge to benefit metro-area nonprofits beginning at midnight May 23. We are fortunate to be among the featured nonprofits. Friends of Extension & 4-H Foundation supports Nebraska Extension in Douglas/Sarpy Counties through the program areas including 4-H, Master Gardeners, ServSafe (food safety for restaurant managers and employees), training of professionals who apply pesticides and fertilizers, nutrition education and agriculture programs. Our teams share research-based information from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and assist people in using it to improve their lives and well-being.  

I encourage you to check our website:  www.friendsofextension.org for more information on Friends of Extension.
