PRIDE PANTRY & TRANS STICHIN’ POLICY UPDATES-
Participants are limited to one (1) visit to the Pride Pantry per 30 days and cannot "bank" points for the next visit if points are unused.
To utilize the Pride Pantry food/hygiene closet, each participant receives a maximum total item quantity, or points, per household size. Household size can only change once every year (365 days).
Participants must maintain an updated/accurate profile, including address and pantry participation form.
Participants must follow which individual item has a posted maximum quantity limit and cannot use more than the item limit or swap items to achieve a higher limit.
Participants must accurately complete the Pantry Inventory form each visit, reviewed at check-out by Omaha ForUs staff or volunteer.
No pantry appointment may begin within one (1) hour of closing. Check-out is required by 30 minutes prior to close (that means that Trans Stitchin' and the Pride Pantry will now CLOSE at 7pm on Tues-Thursday, 2pm on Fri-Saturday).

“I worry about what will happen to me as I get older. When I lost my partner of 31 years to cancer I had no one I could talk to. Everyone at the grief groups I found were straight … I was so uncomfortable, I went once and never went back.”

“If you want kids to stay here in Nebraska, we need somewhere to go that’s not a bar. And something to do that’s not thinking about going to a bar. Gay bars can’t be our only source of community, or we’ll leave the first chance we get.”
Sammy, 39
“It’s just not the same if a program or service is built to serve someone else then suddenly opened to LGBTQ+ people. We deserve people trained, places built, and things designed for us - just like anyone else.”
“The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it.”
