 Curtis Center Success Story
Bill is a recent graduate of the Curtis Center. He came here because he had gone through a traumatic divorce with very bitter feelings on both side. He was extremely depressed and stayed isolated in his room. By working with him and one-on-one counseling, group sessions that made him realize he was not alone, he started to come out of his shell. In his last year, he was on our council, is reunited with his sons and has a new apartment. Bill is looking forward to a new life.
Praise God for changed lives! |

Six local colleges and universities are parcitpating in a race to collect much needed food for Mission.
Competitions will be held between clubs and organizations on the campuses of UNL, Concordia University, SCC, Union College, Nebraska Wesleyan University and Doane College. One winner will be announced from each campus. The campus collecting the most food overall will be recognized as well. Prizes will be given out at a celebration for all participants at the end of the Food Drive.
Food donated will help feed the homeless and needy we serve. The loss of the Dare2Share food drive makes this food drive even more important this year!
Please donate generously when asked by a college student to help fill their bag with food.
