A vibrant new hub in Omaha’s NoDo neighborhood, designed to support and connect our mission community. This dynamic space combines the rich cultural backdrop of NoDo with essential services and community activities. Join us as we build a place where honor, support, and camaraderie come to life.
Last year, we conducted a survey among our mission community to better understand their needs and aspirations. The insights gathered led us directly to the exciting initiative we're thrilled to share with you today: the upcoming launch of Anchor Commons. This small, but thoughtfully designed, mixed-use community space is dedicated to serving past and present service members, the communities that surround them, and the loved ones of those whom we will never forget. It is born from our commitment to extend our reach and enhance the support we offer to our mission community.
Why?
Anchor Commons will serve as a vibrant gathering place for all in our mission community, offering a range of services and activities that foster connection and support. From educational workshops and social gatherings to resource sharing and counseling services, this space is set to become a cornerstone of community life. It’s a place where stories are shared, bonds are strengthened, and support networks are built.
Why "Anchor Commons"?
We chose the name "Anchor Commons" because it reflects both our mission and the spirit of the community we serve. The "anchor" symbolizes stability, safety, and a firm foundation—qualities that we strive to provide in supporting our mission community. "Commons" represents a shared space where everyone is welcome, emphasizing our commitment to creating a community hub that fosters connections and collaboration.
Where will Anchor Commons be?
Situated in the bustling NoDo Neighborhood of Omaha, Anchor Commons is ideally positioned less than a block from the iconic home of the College World Series. NoDo, short for North Downtown, is a dynamic and revitalized area known for its blend of modern amenities and historical charm. It's a cultural hotspot with a variety of entertainment, dining, and shopping options, making it a vibrant community hub. This location not only makes Anchor Commons easily accessible but also embeds it within a lively urban environment that encourages community interaction and engagement. The neighborhood's central location and its cultural significance provide an excellent backdrop for Anchor Commons, enhancing its role as a central gathering place for veterans and the broader community.
What’s Happening Now?
The wheels are in motion! We’re currently in the exciting phases of painting and selecting furnishings that will make Anchor Commons welcoming and functional. Our goal is to open the doors by June 10th, creating a beautifully appointed space that feels like home to all who visit.
A Critical Need: ADA Bathroom Installation
To make Anchor Commons accessible to everyone, one of our first major projects is the installation of an ADA-compliant bathroom. Currently, the space does not have a bathroom, so this addition is crucial for ensuring comfort and accessibility for all our guests.
We are hoping to have this complete in time for soft opening on June 13th, but it may be delayed.
Anchor Commons isn’t just a space in a building; it’s a beacon for our community's future. With your support, we can ensure it stands as a testament to service, courage, and community. Join us in bringing this vision to life—every share, dollar, and introduction counts!
