A Little Rain Never Hurt Anyone

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

A group of Mutual of Omaha volunteers set out to prep for the summer season at Lauritzen Gardens.

It may have been a dreary, rainy day, but that didn’t stop volunteers from cheerfully weeding and mulching for four hours.

Visit Lauritzen Gardens July 24th during Wild About Omaha Weekend to see the fruits (or flowers) of their labor.

Organizing at the Stephen Center

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Five Mutual employees volunteered at The Stephen Center, responding to a need for a more organized pantry that can be used by regular volunteers on an ongoing basis.

The Mutual volunteers came together as a team to make sure everything was in the right spot – making it easy to locate the right canned goods needed by the cooks.
