Back-to-School Drive Revived | Omaha News

Lord of Host Church is reviving its beloved back-to-school supply drive after a six-year break, fueled by a desire to ease financial burdens on families facing soaring costs. More than just handing out backpacks and pencils, this event brings joy to kids and relief to parents, turning school prep into a festive outing complete with snow cones. It’s also a powerful way for the church to connect with the community, embodying faith in action. Joining them are local groups like Foster Heart and Hope and A Mother’s Love, uniting to ensure every child in South Omaha starts the year ready, supported, and excited.
