Benson Plant Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit specializing in the reclaiming/recycling all types of organic waste. We sell plants in our store and proceeds benefit the Omaha Public Library. Wendy Townley, executive director of the Omaha Public Library Foundation, said she couldn’t think of a larger donation given by a local community group than the $10,000 donation we made in 2018. Proceeds also fund the Community Produce Rescue which reclaims produce from Whole Foods and distributes it to a network of other nonprofits, shelters, and refugee families
