Neighborhood Store With
Community Impact.
As a social enterprise, Heart Ministry Center’s grocery store expands access to fresh food while creating jobs for graduates of the Fresh Start program. Every purchase supports employment opportunities and reinvests in programs that provide food, healthcare, and a way forward for those severely affected by poverty in Omaha.
Everyone is welcome. Whether you live in North Omaha, work downtown, volunteer at Heart Ministry Center, or are just passing through, this grocery store is here to serve you.
Many team members will be graduates of the Fresh Start job training program, alongside staff hired from the broader community who are seeking employment and care about great service and meaningful work.
Every purchase does more than fill your cart. It supports job training, strengthens the local workforce, and supports the mission of Heart Ministry Center.
This store will offer a full range of grocery items, with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality, and accessible food for everyday needs.
The store will feature a full-service butcher shop with excellent cuts of meat, making it a go-to destination for quality and selection in Omaha.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for fall of 2026.
You are welcome to attend a Community Vision meeting on June 17 or July 29 from 6:00 p.m. at The Venue at Highlander Accelerator, 2120 N. 30th Street, Omaha, NE 68111. To support the grocery store financially, contact Rick at rick@heartministrycenter.org.
