The area was once a bustling economic hub, housing millworkers and furnituremakers who were the innovators of their time. As it builds on the energy and momentum of Downtown Omaha, Millwork Commons is set to become one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, blending the authenticity of the city’s industrial roots with the vitality of today’s innovators and creators.

Remember, due to COVID-19, you must stay in your vehicle at all times. At check-in, provide the names of all the individuals for which you are picking up food. Each ticket comes with one meal bag. If you have children or additional people in your car who do not have tickets, that is ok! You only need tickets for the number of meal bags you are picking up.
