Heart Ministry Center Inc

Heart ministry's fresh start program provides intensive support for omaha community members so they can break cycles of unemployment, addiction, toxic relationships and mental health issues. If a participant makes it through the 3 week trial period, they are assigned a fresh start facilitator & participate in programming 6 days a week (40 hours weekly) for 16-20 weeks on the heart ministry center campus. This programming includes skill building groups, work in the heart ministry center food distribution area, budgeting, & job placement. To aide in the support, bills are paid during the period by the center. The evolution of fresh start is our social enterprise laundromat and the flower shop. The laundromat business unit created 3 jobs and a viable good/service for both community utilization & improvement. Fresh start laundromat generates $10k in monthly revenue.

Heart ministry's food distribution program is the largest of its kind in nebraska & provides free food for omaha community members.
