The Food Bank is a nonprofit organization that distributes between 5 and 7 million pounds of food annually in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. We distribute food to over 360 charities and organizations serving people in need; during the past year, 300,000 people benefited from The Food Bank.
On July 26th, an estimated 20,000 yellow rubber ducks will race in the lake at Heartland of America Park to raise funds for The Food Bank. The winning duck to cross the finish line wins a Nissan Versa and a chance to win $1 Million Dollars. By adopting a duck for $5 you can help feed the hungry in the Omaha metro area.
