If you’re ready to experience our booming city from our point of view, apply today.

We’ve partnered with the Tri-City Food Pantry for the second annual Helping Hands Food Drive.

In the months of November and December, we are asking the community to donate boxes of Hamburger Helper, Chicken Helper and Tuna Helper.

The food pantry will pair those with the necessary meat and be able to distribute to those in our community.

Drop off your donations at any City facility or Kellogg Credit Union near 96th St. and Brentwood Dr.

Did you know the Tri-City Food Pantry provides more than just meals for families? This organization is a vital part of our larger community, which is why we’re in the middle of our Helping Hands Food Drive campaign. If you’d like to give, visit our website for a list of donation locations, CityofLaVista.org/HelpingHands.

Happy Thanksgiving, La Vista! While you’re gathered with family and friends today, we thought you might want to do a craft, so Ms. Jessy has one for you in this episode of Crafternoons with Ms. Jessy. Have a great day!

The La Vista Public Library will be accepting food donations for the Tri-City Food Pantry and waiving late fees on overdue materials!

For each non-persihable food item you donate one late fee will be removed from your account (not including lost or damaged materials).

If you have fines from overdue items this applies to you!

It's never too late to learn! The La Vista Senior Center is teaching computer classes, laptops provided or bring your own. One-on-one attention is available.

All computer classes are based on what you would like to learn, so contact Kaily Stanley at 402.331.3455 or via e-mail at KStanley@CityofLaVista.org with your suggestions.

The senior center also has five laptops available to be used by seniors at any time during Community Center hours. The laptops must be used within the Community Center. Black and white printing (up to 10 pages) is also available to our seniors.

Taste some fresh popcorn and have a soda all while you enjoy a classic film or newer movie at the La Vista Senior Center.

Every other Tuesday at 1 p.m. join us to watch a movie on our big screen.

Everybody’s thinking about football today, right? So we figured it’s the perfect day for some football fun in this episode of Fun Friday! And what would be football without some trash talk, too, so we have some of that as well! Watch to the end to see whether Mr. David or Mr. Trenton end up victorious!

The La Vista Recreation Department is seeking a fitness instructor for youth, adult and senior classes at the Community Center!
