At the Food Bank of Lincoln, we are committed to alleviating hunger for youth and families in Lincoln. The Big Give funding opportunity would help us invest in more fresh and healthy food options for our Child Hunger programs which include the BackPack Program and School Food Markets. No child should need to wonder about when their next meal will be. Not having to worry about having enough food can help kids stay happy, healthy and perform better in school. Our Child Hunger Programs provide much needed nutrition, comfort and hope to over 6,500 students and their families each year.

With the help of The Big Give, presented by UBT, we would be able to enhance our food offerings for our vital Child Hunger programs. We would be able to provide more diverse food options and enhance the selection of nutritionally dense food such as fresh produce, meat and dairy. At the Food Bank of Lincoln, we believe access to fresh and healthy food shouldn't be a privilege. When you vote for us during The Big Give, you will help bridge the fresh food gap for your neighbors here in Lincoln.
