MENU News & Events IN THE NEWS UPCOMING EVENTS In the news Shine the Light on Hunger For the 15th consecutive year, Conagra Brands and the Conagra Brands Foundation invite the Omaha community to help “Shine the Light on Hunger” this holiday season in conjunction with the Holiday Lights Festival. The campaign begins November 17 as part of the kick-off of the Holiday Lights Festival and continues through December 31, with many opportunities throughout the city to give back through nonperishable food and monetary donations. For a list of events, please visit the Holiday Lights Festival. The community-wide campaign goal is 2 million meals, which will have a significant impact on the Food Bank’s distribution. More families than ever are experiencing financial hardship and food insecurity due to the impact of the Pandemic. Thanks to Conagra Brands Foundation, Spreetail, Baker’s and other friends of the Food Bank, every gift you make before December 31 will be matched—up to a total of $220,000!
