online benefit auction
Over the past two months, more than 800,000 acres have burned in Nebraska's largest cattle-producing region, leaving ranchers in dire need of hay to feed their livestock. With thousands of donated bales needing transport from out of state and skyrocketing diesel prices driving up costs, your support is critical in ensuring that this much-needed hay reaches those in need.

Our ongoing progrms
Nebraska Wildfire Relief
In March 2026, our beautiful rural Nebraska was devastated by multiple wildfires. The notorious Morrill Fire consumed over 642,000 acres, while other fires such as the Cottonwood Fire (129,253 acres), Anderson Bridge Fire (17,000 acres), Road 203 Fire (35,000 acres), Minor Fire (14,082 acres), and Asby Fire (36,000 acres) left behind a trail of destruction. These wildfires have severely impacted livestock producers in the midst of calving season and the rural communities that rely on them.
How You Can Help:
Funds raised through this initiative will provide vital support, including:
- Fuel for truckers donating their time and resources
- Freight costs - we have multiple loads of donated hay out of state to ship to NE.
- Emergency assistance for affected ranchers, families, and volunteer fire departments
- Fencing and livestock materials urgently needed for recovery
Our CEO, a third-generation Nebraska Sandhiller with strong ties to these communities, is leading efforts to deliver hay, fencing supplies, and essential livestock resources to those in need.
The Forgotten- Hurricane Helene
Our organization remains active in Western North Carolina, collaborating with state and federal officials, as well as other national nonprofits, to assist homeowners severely impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. Many residents continue to live in unsafe conditions, including damaged, mold-infested homes, tents, or leaky donated campers. The majority of these individuals fall into vulnerable demographic categories, including the disabled, special needs individuals, veterans, and the elderly, many of whom have been denied federal assistance and are struggling to survive.
Your Contributions Make a Difference:
Funds raised for this program will be used to meet the urgent needs of these families, such as:
- Groceries (some are surviving on cat food)
- Medication
- Utility bills (phone, electric)
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Housing needs
