Hope Center Uganda and Trinity Hope
Over 5% of Uganda 's population is made up of orphaned children. Hope Center Uganda’s mission is rescuing abused, abandoned, and orphaned children of Uganda and restoring their future with a Christ-centered home.

Maybe you are passionate about one of these or something entirely new. We are an entire congregation of caregivers. How has God equipped you to show up in the name of Jesus to bring tangible good?

Food Bank of Lincoln
Since our founding in 1982, we’ve been focused on our mission to alleviate hunger in Southeast Nebraska. Within the 16 counties we serve, an estimated 64,510 people are food insecure, including 20,320 children under the age of 18. This means 1 in 7 neighbors—and 1 in 5 children—may not have reliable and consistent access to enough food to live active, healthy lives. In fiscal year 2023, we connected neighbors in Southeast Nebraska to more than 10.2 million meals.
Bridges to Hope
