about
Kountze Commons Community Outreach Center was created to serve our city’s most vulnerable members with complex health and life issues. An integrated health care delivery model was formed with community and professional partners. We service the whole person through a unique partnership of four entities
co-located in one building: The Del and Lou Ann Weber Free Healing Gift Clinic and fully licensed free pharmacy, Methodist Community Health Clinic, Lutheran Family Services behavioral health, and
the Kountze "Love Thy Neighbor" Food Pantry. A typical vulnerable person in our community does not have just one health issue, but rather faces multiple underlying issues – chronic health issues overlaid with food insecurity and behavioral health challenges.
Kountze Commons aims to fulfill its mission in the community and beyond by providing crucial life-saving services to those who need it most. The vision of Kountze Commons is to engage with community partners
at an accessible location to provide food assistance, primary health care, behavioral health care,
and social services to vulnerable populations in Omaha. We also offer our community spaces to fellow nonprofits who share in our mission and vision.
The services provided at Kountze Commons not only strengthen the community and the surrounding neighborhoods by nurturing health and nourishing families—they are also an act of solidarity in standing with those most vulnerable in our community. Providing services to our brothers and sisters in need through the free clinic and pharmacy, pantry, Lutheran Family Services, and Methodist partnerships at Kountze Commons Community Outreach Center is truly an act of love and welcome.
