Blessings by the Bushel

In 2011, God planted an idea and in no time, Blessings by the Bushel was formed. The children served by NLOM are reaping the benefits of farmers’ gifts of grain. This generous sharing of corn, wheat, and soybeans has produced an amazing harvest by helping more young people have the opportunity to attend camp. Blessings by the Bushel is connecting NLOM with Nebraska’s agricultural community in an amazing way. We invite you to join us by making a life-changing gift!

Reasons to Give

Beyond the tax advantages, there are many reasons to make a commodity gift to NLOM.

  • Invest in the potential and promise of our young people.
  • Support the local community by raising strong, faithful leaders.
  • Develop younger, more enthusiastic members of your congregation.
  • Enable NLOM to reach children and teens through relevant programs.
  • Increase the number of young people who are able to attend camp.

How it Works

  • Download and fill out the Gift Form and send it to NLOM via e-mail to Gifts@NLOM.org, fax to 402-944-2544 or mail to 27416 Ranch Rd. Ashland, NE 68003.
  • Check the list of participating elevators below to make sure yours is on the list. If not, contact us and we’ll get one set up.
  • Transfer the grain into the Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries account at your elevator.
  • Call us at 402-944-2544 or e-mail to inform us that you have transferred your grain into our account.

NLOM will sell your grain and send you an acknowledgement of your donation.

Thrivent Choice is a program through which members can designate their available Choice Dollars toward various organizations, including Carol Joy Holling Camp and Sullivan Hills Camp. If you are a Thrivent policy holder or hold a volunteer leadership position, just follow these simple instructions and you can designate your Choice Dollars. Thank you for thinking of us.

  3. In the middle of the next page, type in “Carol Joy Holling Camp,” or “Sullivan Hills Camp.” in the “Organization Name” box (nothing in “City”) and click search.
  4. Next to our camp name, click the “Direct Now” button. You will be able to assign all or part of your choice dollars to us.
  5. Click the “submit button” and your Thrivent Choice Dollars will be sent to our ministry. You are able to designate once there is $5 or more accumulated.

Over the Phone
