Project Wee Care: Financial Support
Financial support from individuals, organizations and businesses allows us to purchase holiday gifts and food for the nominated families. Individuals that don’t like to shop can provide donations in place of Adopting to Shop. Businesses and Organizations can be a sponsor and receive recognition depending upon the size of the donation. Financial contributions are made to Millard Business Community Foundation, a 501C3 non profit.
School Connect
School Connect has grown in the last three years from the original two Millard Schools (Rockwell Elementary and Andersen Middle Schools) to 20 schools across the Omaha Metro area. This is an opportunity for individuals, Churches, organizations and businesses to come alongside local schools with intentional care and tangible support.
The Mission is to identify the highest needs of a particular school and then work together to meet that need. This is an invitation to build lasting relationships that help schools, students, and communities flourish.
