Giving back is a team effort at Tenaska!

Tenaska kicked off its annual United Way campaign this week, bringing employees together for opportunities to give, connect and make a difference in our community. A special thank you to UWM Board Chair and Tenaska President & CEO Christopher Leitner for his continued leadership and commitment to our community, as well as to Karen Gamble and the entire Campaign Team for the time and creativity they’ve invested in making this year’s campaign engaging for employees. We’re excited to have Emerging Leaders and Women United joining the fun at Tenaska’s Co****le Tournament and connecting with employees throughout the campaign. The Tenaska team will continue their impact through two Good on the Go projects, giving employees an opportunity to roll up their sleeves and directly support needs in our local community. Thank you, Tenaska!

Sometimes it takes a village to build a stronger community!

Union Pacific brought that spirit to life at its fourth annual Community Village event, connecting hundreds of employees and leaders with local nonprofits doing important work across our metro. The event was a great opportunity to learn more about community needs, discover the organizations working to address them and explore ways to get involved together.

Special thanks to Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena, UP Campaign Manager Lisa Lawson Stark, UWM Board Member Maqui Parkerson, Executive Sponsor Christina Conlin and Community Event Coordinator Veronica Ploetz for their leadership in bringing this event together.

We're grateful for Union Pacific's continued partnership and commitment to strengthening communities across its 23-state network — and proud to have such a community-minded organization headquartered right here in Omaha!

What an inspiring day of leadership, learning and connection at the JAG Nebraska Leadership Development Conference (LDC)! 🌟

JAG Nebraska students from across the state gathered at the CHI Health Center in Omaha to strengthen their leadership skills, connect with peers and gain valuable insights to help prepare them for future success.

A special thank you to Don Eckles, co-founder of Scooter’s Coffee, for sharing his experiences and insights as the keynote speaker!

Throughout the day, JAG students participated in breakout sessions focused on developing new skills and building confidence as future leaders. They also heard campaign speeches from their peers and cast their votes for the 2026–27 JAG Nebraska State Officers, putting leadership and decision-making into action!

From snack packs to bicycles, the Cummins team is putting generosity into action! As part of their annual United Way campaign, Cummins employees rolled up their sleeves for two Good on the Go volunteer projects — assembling snack packs for Kids Can Community Center and building 35 bikes for the International Council for Refugees and Immigrants. A special thank you to Suzanne Zollar for her leadership in organizing these opportunities and to the entire Cummins team for finding ways to give back beyond their annual campaign.

We're grateful for Cummins' continued partnership and commitment to making a difference in our community!

An estimated two in five children across the country go without the winter gear they need. And right here in our community, staying warm through the colder months can be a challenge for local students and families.

That’s why United Way of the Midlands partnered with Omaha Public Schools to create Winter Warm-Up, a volunteer project designed to meet a local need by providing students with winter coats and accessories.

You can help make a difference! Join us for an upcoming volunteer opportunity and help keep OPS students warm this winter.

FNIC didn’t just kick off their annual campaign — they put their commitment to community into action! 💪

This past week, over 50 team FNIC Group team members kicked off their annual campaign with a Good on the Go project. They assembled 500 snack pack kits benefiting programs at New Visions Homeless Services and Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition. Held during a large company-wide meeting, team members from across FNIC’s footprint were given an opportunity to connect, give back, and make a lasting impact together. Their team took on the project with tremendous enthusiasm and care for our community. We are so grateful for our longstanding partnership with FNIC and look forward to another impactful campaign!

A little teamwork can make a big difference! 🙏

Nearly 50 FNBO team members rolled up their sleeves for a United Way Good on the Go volunteer experience, assembling 1,200 snack packs to support programs at City Sprouts and Together.

It was a great day of connecting with colleagues, giving back and making a difference for neighbors across the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro. We're grateful for FNBO's continued partnership and the many ways their team shows up for our community!
