Omaha Gives!, a 24-hour charitable challenge to benefit the community’s nonprofits, kicks off today.
This year’s online fundraising event features nearly 700 local organizations, including the UNMC SHARING Clinics. Throughout the day, participants can support these student-run clinics, as well as other participating organizations.
Visit the Omaha Gives! website on May 20, from midnight to midnight, to make your gift. Every gift will make a difference and help the UNMC SHARING Clinics receive a percentage of a matching challenge gift available to all participating organizations. For every $1 donated, approximately $8 in medical services can be provided.
The UNMC SHARING Clinics’ student and faculty volunteers provide medical care to Omaha’s underprivileged populations by offering high-quality, low-cost health care and human services.
Through the four SHARING (Student Health Alliance Reaching Indigent Needy Groups) Clinics, more than 1,400 patients annually receive primary health care, HIV and STD testing, primary care for type 2 diabetes and vision care.
Please support the UNMC SHARING Clinics through Omaha Gives!
