Hello Omaha! The weekly OAA Street Kitchen is moving to a new location. Starting Sunday November 2nd, Kitchen and distro will be at Walnut Hill Park by 38th and Hamilton every Sunday from 2-3. Tomorrow will be a little celebration, and we hope to see some of y'all there!

We want to remind folks that what we do doesn't have to be unique. Help make your neighbors a meal, pass off some supplies, cash, or just chat with those in your community and learn how we can all support each other.

Hoping everyone is staying safe and warm!

and hygiene supplies.

Every week we see more new faces, and as assistance programs continue to be cut and prices go up, we don't expect that to change anytime soon.

We know the small area of town we’re able to work in isn’t the only place where people are struggling.

It's finally fall! It's been about a month since our last distro update, and we wanted to share what we've been up to! As always, we’ve had a busy few weeks. We had a delicious veggie stew with corn bread, pizza, chicken and rice bowls, pumpkin curry soup and tacos! As well as plenty of snacks

First of all we want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who's donated their time, supplies, or funds in the last week. It's greatly appreciated and we're on track to continue our normal request schedule! Without our community we wouldn't be able to do what we do.
October 28, 2025 at 8:52 PM
If you've got the means, and it seems like a project you'd like to support, you can join our Patreon or send us a donation on Venmo or Cashapp. We know times are hard for everyone and only getting harder so anything you can spare is deeply appreciated.

At this rate, we can't afford to keep requests going.

The attached pics give you an idea what a typical request week looks like.
October 23, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Three years ago, we were able to buy requests every week, and get 3 needs and 3 wants for folks. Today, we've had to scale back to a limit of two items per person every other week. Even with that change, our last several request shops have each been more than our monthly Patreon payout.

Hi, we need your help.

One of the things that sets OAA apart from many other mutual aid projects is our request process. It's something that we believe in very strongly, as it gives some of our most disenfranchised neighbors agency and autonomy.
October 23, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Thank you to Urban Abbey for partnering with us on this! Drop off donations at Urban Abbey before November 16.

Our unhoused neighbors really need the support of all in the community, now more than ever. Show up for your unhoused neighbors, whether that be providing a meal, supplies, cash, or just a chat. Mutual aid is a great way to build community and provide tangible assistance to those who need it.
September 22, 2025 at 9:16 PM
We got to share a Greek pasta salad, pizza, grilled hot dogs and some delicious Khichdi with our neighbors, as well as an array of snacks and drinks. Thanks to generous donations we had canned goods, hygiene products, and period packs to distribute, in addition to our usual request fulfillments.
September 22, 2025 at 9:16 PM
The temperatures have been more bearable the last few weeks, but with the increase in sweeps and pressure from police, demand is as high as ever.
September 22, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Although we work hard to get people the basic supplies they need to make life a little easier, conditions are getting worse for folks. Police and business owners alike continue to harass our neighbors, forcing people to constantly relocate.

Also, shout out to the people who brought us extra food and supplies at Street Kitchen. Small and travel size toiletries are a great resource that’s always much appreciated and welcome year-round. If you'd like to help out, just send us a message!

Huge thank you to the people and orgs that helped us out with our July hygiene supply drive, especially Urban Abbey for running a supply drive for us! This is what we collected from the drive:
September 14, 2025 at 10:36 PM
We ended July with a hotdog grill-out, turkey sandwiches, homemade meatloaf and plenty of snacks and veg from folks' gardens. In August, we had enchilada casserole, a ton of salad, chicken salad sandwiches, and pizza.

We’ve been busy at Street Kitchen this summer! Here's a lil recap of the last couple months:

July was HOT. In addition to our usual supplies at kitchen, a few members went around the community to distribute water and electrolytes to folks who needed it.
September 14, 2025 at 10:36 PM
notes from the youth group, as well as water, electrolytes, socks, sun screen, bug spray, snacks, and toothbrush and toothpaste, wipes, and hand sanitizer.
July 24, 2025 at 3:34 PM
OAA had the pleasure of meeting with Urban Abbey's youth group for a second time recently. We had great conversations about the spectrum from charity to mutual aid, heard some absolutely inspired ideas for mutual aid projects, and put together at least 30 care packages, each featuring incredible

We agree! We get feminine hygiene products through Access Period in Omaha, so we typically have them on hand every week. If people would like to donate financially to them to help them continue their important work of providing these products, they can do that here:

We need your help! Toiletries are a huge need at Street Kitchen, and we try to have as many as we can every week for people to take. Personal hygiene is a basic necessity that everyone deserves access to. Let's help make that access possible!
July 11, 2025 at 9:20 PM
As we get deeper into summer, preventing heat illness is more important than ever. Every week we provide water, cool rags, ice and other essentials to those who stop by Street Kitchen.
July 4, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Despite the heat, the past two weeks have been busy! We got to share smoked chicken, a few different salads, and plenty of snacks and sides with our neighbors.
