Together Inc. of Metropolitan Omaha was founded after the tornado disaster in 1975. The natural disaster, which left hundreds of families homeless, hungry, and in great need, spurred religious leaders from several denominations to organize the "Together" cooperative effort. This effort provided for ongoing human needs, primarily, the basic necessities of life: food, clothing, and shelter.

Providing free emergency help in an attitude of neighborly love, Together, Inc. is supported by contributors from churches, synagogues, businesses, foundations, and individuals of nearly every faith.
