Safe. Together. Healthy. Free. Release began in 1994 with two guys, a Bible, and a boom box. We serve over 350 kids per week through our various programs.

They used Christian rap music and God’s word to reach the youth at the Douglas County Youth Center. Early on the ministry became aware of the need for mentoring, Bible studies and aftercare that would go beyond the walls of the DCYC. Mentoring was formally added in 2001, and the overall ministry continued to grow every year. Release engages with at-risk youth and their families throughout Douglas and Sarpy counties. MENTORING Release engages youth through professional chaplaincy and various volunteer mentoring opportunities in the community. FOSTER CARE Release provides initial training and ongoing support to foster families to provide temporary, loving homes when children cannot remain in their family homes. COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVES Release goes into the homes of families to help keep them together, or reunite them when they have been separated. MENTAL HEALTH Release provides therapy services to individuals and families in the community.

🎃Community Trunk or Treat! 🎃

We were thrilled to see such a great turnout from our foster families, mentors, and children from neighboring schools! It was such a beautiful, fun-filled, family night!

A huge thank you to all of the community members and organizations who hosted trunks and shared in the fun. Attendees were able to visit trunks representing our Mental Health department, Mentoring & Foster Care programs, the Care Closet, and our Release More Love Christmas table.

We would also like to give a very special shoutout to Moose Roofing for being our event sponsor! 👏👏 Their generosity and support helped make the evening a success. Moose Roofing went above and beyond by providing several trunks, creating a fun maze, offering s’mores and apple c***r, and supplying the candy for the event. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and commitment to serving our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and supported this event. Seeing our families, mentors, and community come together is what makes these moments so meaningful.🫶

📣 Furniture Donation Needed! 📣

We are to looking to update our visitation room, a special space where supervised family visits take place for children in foster care and their families. Our goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable environment that helps families feel at home.

We are currently seeking a dark-colored couch and loveseat set, preferably leather or a similar material that is durable and easy to clean. We're hoping to replace our current furniture with something similar to the inspiration photo shown.

If you or someone you know has a set to donate or would like to help purchase a set, please leave a comment below or contact Rachelle at 402-960-4217.

Thank you for helping us create a space where families can focus on what matters most: spending time together. 🫶
