BPR’s New Store and Mission

BPR’s New Store and Mission – For 14 years the Benson Plant Rescue has recycled end season, damaged, and overstock plant goods with proceeds used to purchase children’s books, iMacs and iPads for the Omaha Public Library. We’ve recently secured a retail store that will allow us to expand our mission by partnering with three other non-profots to develop a new environmental model for urban agriculture and food reclamation. Salvaged produce is assisting homeless shelters, food pantries, drug rehabs, and sheltered housing for mental clients. Produce waste is being recycled through our worm farm with worm castings used in our community gardens which, in turn, are producing more produce for our non-profit clients. Benson Plant Rescue: Growing Community, Not Just Plants, since 1999.
