Nonprofit Overview

Mission: History Together is a local, independent non-profit that was initially conceived in response to the tornado disaster in 1975 that struck the metropolitan area in 1975 and left hundreds of families homeless, hungry and in great need. The leaders of Countryside Community Church, Dundee Presbyterian, Temple Israel, Kountze Memorial Lutheran, Trinity Cathedral, First United Methodist, St. Cecilia’s Cathedral, and many others organized the “Together” cooperative effort to meet the immediate needs of the hundreds of families that were struggling with the basic necessities of life: food, clothing, and shelter. However, our founders soon realized that thousands of families in Omaha need relief every day and opened the FREE services of Together to the community year round. This effort provided for ongoing human needs, primarily, the basic necessities of life: food and shelter.
Results: Today Together operates with a paid staff of four full-time and two part-time as well as dozens of volunteers. Last year, Together provided more than 45,000 services to people in need. People, local corporations, faith and human service organizations rely on Together to provide these necessities for their employees, neighbors, clients and children. We have diverse fund sources that include government, private donors, foundations, the faith community and grants. Significant programmatic support comes from the faith, corporate and government also have a significant role in our fund development and stability. Mission Together provides Emergency Resources and Navigation to people in Extreme Poverty to create Housing Stability. Vision Together will be the leader in providing Service to people in need, Education to inspire change, and Collaboration to sustain that change.
