2025 Giving Tuesday - Holiday Ornament Volunteer Opportunity

Tuesday, December 2, 2025
9:00 am12:00 pm
1915 N 121 St
Omaha, NE 68154
US

ALS in the Heartland is looking for 10–20 volunteers to help spread holiday cheer in a very special way on Giving Tuesday, December 2, through SHARE Omaha.

Each year, we create hundreds of ornaments in honor of people currently living with ALS and in memory of those we’ve lost. These ornaments are sent to families as a heartfelt reminder that they’re never alone on their ALS journey.

Volunteers will join a festive “assembly line” where every helping hand makes a difference. From assembling to packaging, every step brings these ornaments to life and ensures families feel love, remembrance, and hope this holiday season.

Even if you can’t volunteer, you can still lend a hand by donating through SHARE Omaha on Giving Tuesday, every gift helps bring comfort, connection, and light to families facing ALS.

2025 Give Where You Live - Supporting ALS Families in the Kearney Area

Thursday, December 4, 2025

December 4th is the Kearney Day of Giving through Give Where You Live, hosted by the Kearney Area Community Foundation.

Every dollar donated through Give Where You Live to ALS in the Heartland is used directly to support people with ALS, their families, and caregivers in the Kearney area. These funds stay local and go straight to work. In 2024, donations helped reimburse caregivers for respite services, made it possible for an 11-year-old to attend softball camp while her dad battles ALS, supported a UNK student who lost a parent to the disease, purchased a specialty air mattress for a local patient, and allowed for numerous in-person visits that brought guidance, resources, and hope during difficult moments.

ALS in the Heartland is committed to delivering the highest quality of support and care to individuals with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), their families, and those who care for them. Our goal is simple: to make sure nobody faces ALS alone.

When you give where you live, you ensure that individuals and families facing ALS receive the care, dignity, and compassion they deserve, right here at home.
