(Omaha, NE) -- "Conagra Brands," and "Food Bank for the Heartland" officials were joined by Omaha Mayor John Ewing Junior Tuesday to announce the 2025 "Shine the Light on Hunger" campaign marked the most successful year in its 19-year history.
They say the effort raised the highest total of funds and meals ever generated to support those in need across Nebraska and western Iowa.
They report the campaign exceeded its goal of raising the equivalent of six million meals, generating more than 15 million meals for "Food Bank for the Heartland."
The campaign raised almost 5-million dollars in monetary donations and collected 216-thousand pounds of non-perishable food.
