At this annual service of bounty on December 18, 2022, we showed up with boxes and bags full of items to share with our partners in the community. It was one of the larger crowds we have seen in a while. Thank you to everyone who made it a success.

​NAACP: We exceeded our goal of raising $1,000 for the Lincoln Branch NAACP which is enough to cover one of the organization's spring scholarships. Since its founding in 1918, the Lincoln Branch NAACP has played an unparalleled role in improving the lives of those who are socially, politically and economically disenfranchised in Lincoln.

COMMUNITY ACTION: We gathered four large totes, and eight garbage bags filled with warm winter items for youth.  Community Action serves Lancaster and surrounding counties, and empowers people living in poverty to reach economic stability.

CENTERPOINTE: We gathered two large garbage bags filled with warm winter items for adults. CenterPointe helps the people we serve get better, sooner, for longer.  CenterPointe provides 35+ programs in the areas of treatment, rehabilitation, housing, and crisis response.

FRESH START: We gathered two large boxes and ten paper bags full of household and hygiene products for Fresh Start. Fresh Start has a vision to assist women to overcome homelessness. Our housing program uses client focused practices to overcome barriers to self-sufficiency. 

EASTRIDGE FOOD PANTRY: We gathered a dozen paper bags of non-perishable foods for the Eastridge Food Pantry. The Eastridge Food Pantry’s mission is to provide food to families and individuals in need in Lincoln. While the pantry always needs food, cleaning products, and personal care items, the greatest need that the pantry has is for more volunteers.

LITTLE FREE PANTRY: We gathered a dozen paper bags of non-perishable foods for our Little Free Pantry. We selected items that would not freeze in sub-zero tempersatures. Our pantry - stationed next to the driveway on the Eldon Street side - is one of the newest pantries in Lincoln.

The quilt featured in the cover of this event page is by the artist Peg Green and is entitled "Phoenix Chalice". To see more of these art quilts go to www.peacepeg.com.
