GIVE TO LINCOLN DAY SUCCESS!

GIVE TO LINCOLN DAY

Huge thanks to the 134 donors whose generosity helped us raise close to $69,000 after the match funds! Your gifts are empowering New American neighbors in Lincoln in tangible ways.

  •  Asian Center youth programs served 379 immigrant students last year, spending 6,700+ hours mentoring, developing, and community building.

  • Cultivating leaders like PoePoe, who overcame incredible hardships to become a dedicated, highly educated professional and community servant. Check out PoePoe's story HERE.

Your donations are the heartbeat of our mission, enabling us to offer programs that help newcomers find their voice, build community, and thrive. THANK YOU!

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

CCL

After 34 years serving the community, the Asian Center will finally have a home of our own! Last fall, the Asian Center and several Cultural Centers of Lincoln partners broke ground on our new building. In summer of 2027, the Cultural Centers of Lincoln building will open. 

We are so excited for the resource this building will be for thousands of Lincolnites! Curious about this project? Check out the recent Cultural Tapestry episode featuring a conversation with our Executive Director Sheila and Tom Randa of the Good Neighbor Community Center.

YOU can help make this dream a reality by donating to this special project. Visit https://culturalcentersoflincolncollaborative.com/ for more information, or contact Sheila at sheila@lincolnasiancenter.org for more information.
