Please join us in supporting our Q2 Partner, Food Bank for the Heartland. The Food Bank was founded in 1981 and focuses on providing food to children, families, seniors and veterans facing hunger in Nebraska and western Iowa.
We are planning numerous events this quarter to benefit the Food Bank, including food drives! Our employees will also be volunteering onsite at the Food Bank in May.

A key fabric of our DNA is helping those in our community who need us most. Every year, our charitable efforts help to improve the quality of life for the residents of our community through fundraising, drives, and event partnerships.
In 2023 we donated just over $7,400 to our four charities: Open Door Mission, The Hope Center for Kids, Nebraska Humane Society, and Dreamweaver Foundation.
Each of these organizations does essential work for members of their community, and it was our honor to be able to help them to continue bringing their important services to the Omaha area.
Our four charities in 2024 are: Women's Center for Advancement, The Dreamweaver Foundation, the Nebraska Humane Society, and Food Bank for the Heartland. We have a lot of fundraising opportunities planned for this year, so stay tuned to see how you can get involved.
If you have suggestions or questions about our community involvement, you can email community@mutualfirst.com!
Towards the end of each year, we ask our staff to submit suggestions for the next year's organizations. We gather information about each one and present them to everyone for a vote. We pick the top four!
We are open to receiving information about other local non-profit organizations - if you have a suggestion for a future partnership, please email community@mutualfirst.com.
