8th Annual “24-Hour GIMME SHELTER” Event to Advocate for the Homeless

People’s City Mission (PCM) will host its 8th Annual 24-Hour GIMME SHELTER event on Friday and Saturday, June 27–28, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., outside Hy-Vee at 84th and Holdrege. This powerful event raises awareness for individuals experiencing homelessness in the Lincoln community.

Pastor Tom Barber, PCM’s Executive Director, will once again go without food, sleep, or shelter for 24 hours to stand in solidarity with the homeless and bring attention to their daily struggles.

PCM is proud to partner with Alpha Media for the event. Local radio stations The Eagle, 92.9, KZKX 96.9, KFRX 106.3, The Blaze, 104.1 and KFOR 101.5fm/1240 am will be broadcasting live with appearances from popular on-air personalities throughout the day.

This year’s event continues the beloved Hawaiian theme, celebrating community, compassion, and unity. Pastor Tom will don his signature Hawaiian shirt, and attendees are encouraged to embrace the spirit of aloha — represented by the shaka hand sign, a symbol of friendship, goodwill, and encouragement.

Community members are invited to stop by, meet Pastor Tom, learn more about PCM’s mission, and support the cause. Donations of bottled water will be accepted on-site and are greatly appreciated during the hot summer months.
