Heartland Family Service will be honoring members of our community who are quietly making a difference at Salute to Families on Thursday, November 21.
Hosted by the HFS Friends Guild at the Livestock Exchange Ballrooms in Omaha, local families will be honored for their strong family life, community service and leadership among other attributes. Several different categories will be featured. This year’s honored families are:
Leadership
Shamaere & Anthony Ashby Family

Angela & Tim Royers Family
Challenged and Successful
Jamilla Havrum & Family

A Salute to Families Reception will take place just before the Recognition Dinner. The reception begins at 6:00 P.M. with dinner at 6:30.
The Heartland Family Service Salute to Families award program was established in 1982 to provide a positive message about family life whatever that might look like. Nominations for the Salute to Families awards are submitted by the general public, and Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen issues a proclamation for Family Week leading up to the event.
