The virtual celebration will start on Friday, February 20, and run through Saturday, February 26. The week-long event will feature a silent auction, a live auction, and “Hope for Families.” Throughout the week, stories will be shared about the work Heartland Family Service provides, highlighting sponsors, as well as sharing some of the agency’s success stories.
In lieu of tickets and table options, HFS is requesting businesses and individuals purchase a sponsorship or apply their support toward the silent and live auctions during the week-long online event.
Since April of 2020, the demand for our services, from counseling and substance use prevention to helping keep families together in stable housing, has increased dramatically. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to make life even more difficult for those most at-risk in the communities we serve.
Your support during the virtual “Carnival of Love” Gala enables HFS to provide life-changing programs and services for the most vulnerable individuals, children, and families in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area.
The “Carnival of Love” Gala is hosted by the Heartland Family Service Friends Guild. Julie Gibson-Beier and Laressa Tromler are the event Co-Chairs and Candy Golden is the Friends Guild President.
