See a story from the
Omaha camp
|
Omaha, NE
sits on the bank of the Missouri River. We are the
home of the College World Series and our Henry Doorly
Zoo is one of the top 10 in the world. Omaha is
the home of Father Flannagan's Girls and Boys Town,
is the Headquarters of the Union Pacific Railroad and
Mutual of Omaha. In the 50's, Omaha was the Livestock
Capital of the World and many ethnic groups settled in
the South Omaha area where the packing houses and
stockyards were located. Today, some of those same
families who worked in the packing houses still own
those homes and are quite elderly and need the help and
support of CHWC.
