Here for kids. Here for families. Always.

What Being Here Looks Like

Since 1947, we've been a beacon of hope, serving hundreds of kids each day.

A safe place to sleep is often one of the most pressing needs for kids and families facing instability.

CEDARS works to ensure kids and families find the support they need to build a brighter future.

The impact is clear: we are making a difference for kids and families. Together.

Every day in Nebraska, kids and families face challenges most of us never notice. Learn more about the struggles you can't always see—and the people who need you to pay attention.
