On October 10, Nebraska Appleseed will gather again to celebrate the outstanding contributions of individuals and organizations who have stood up for justice and opportunity for all during the 2024 Good Apple Awards. We are proud to recognize this year’s honorees.
The Roots of Justice Award recognizes grassroots advocates who have made outstanding contributions to justice and opportunity for all and have helped build a stronger community.
“The mission of 3Sisters is designed and inspired to put resources in the hands of people ready to change their life. 3Sisters envisions an Omaha where all people have access to resources that meet their basic needs and resources to empower them to thrive. Founded in January 2015, 3Sisters bridges the gap of need in the Omaha community and provides resources to motivate and empower community members to thrive. 3Sisters serves as a connector and resource hub in the community, hosting self-empowerment and enrichment workshops, an open food pantry, and distributions of clothing and items for infants.” – Kelsey Arends, Staff Attorney: Health Care Access & Freedom Thompson, Community Organizer: Health Care Access
3SISTERS started when three women began talking about how their lives had evolved and the barriers they had to endure to see their lives evolve. We recalled the barriers we faced due to poverty, income, or systematic barriers. Sharing how we overcame we decided that day to be the change we needed on our journey and thus 3Sisters was born. Since then the nonprofit organization has been in existence for 8 years working to provide a safe place to dream for anyone who identifies as a female. Through the years we have made sure to stay intentional on the services we provide, making sure that they are unique and tailored for the growth of our community. We offer many resources that cater to the person as a whole and continue to reduce barriers that interfere with a person concentrating on self-growth. We have a small board that shows up at every major event happy and ready to work. It’s truly a blessing to work with committed and motivated members whose only reward is the smiles of the community.
