The Man Behind the Meals

Craig McVeigh is known for a lot of things... his troublemaking teen years in his hometown of Tekamah, NE... his time in the Old Market kitchens... his move to Lincoln with his wife Anne to raise their two kids, Jake and Beth... launching his own restaurant, Beacon Hills... and eventually returning to Omaha, where he reconnected with old friends and relocated Beacon Hills to Aksarben Village.  

But most of all, Craig is known for showing up—changing tires, helping friends move, cooking meals, covering bills, and lending an ear in hard times. When you think of Craig McVeigh, you think of someone you can count on—a true friend who’s always there when you need him.

Now, it's time we show up for Craig. 

In early May, Craig was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. Since then, he’s been recovering in the ICU at Bergan Mercy Hospital and will soon transition to a long-term rehab facility as he begins adjusting to life with a prosthetic leg.

The road ahead includes physical rehab, time away from work, extensive medical costs, and many unknowns. That’s where you come in.
