GIVE ONLINE
It doesn't take people giving a lot to make a difference, just a lot of people giving a little bit. We are asking people like you to commit to feeding one person one meal once a month. That's it. The cost to feed someone is only $2.77, the price of a cup of coffee. Our plan is to connect with enough individuals to feed a majority of the homeless in our city.
Poverty and homelessness are serious issues for Lincoln. We believe we can solve these problems, even put an end to them. We have been working with the poor for 115 years. The resources to end poverty are primarily in the public. Individuals, businesses, service, and religious organizations giving money, time, and material possessions can change everything.
Give a little, change a lot!
