We’re proud to share the first of many harvests from our community garden at Heartwood Omaha. 🍅 In collaboration with S&N Landscape Design, we harvested fresh vegetables to be donated on behalf of Heartwood Preserve and Applied Underwriters to the Food Bank for the Heartland. We’re proud to support our community and look forward to more weekly donations throughout the season.

Lunchtime looked a little different thanks to a summer grill out featuring local food trucks. It was a great way to connect over good food and support our Omaha businesses!
