Share the Harvest: Lincoln Neighbors Feeding Neighbors
Hundreds of local immigrant families are being cut off from food assistance benefits. These are our neighbors, our workforce, and our friends. Suddenly, parents are facing empty cupboards and the inability to feed their children. You can help!
We believe that no family in Lincoln should go hungry. Join the Share the Harvest effort to help ensure that nobody in our community is without food.
HOW TO HELP
Feed a Family AND Support a Small Business
Finding culturally familiar foods like spices and produce at food distribution sites and larger grocery stores can be challenging. Newcomer families often find these foods at small grocery stores owned by local immigrant entrepreneurs.
Simply purchase a gift card from one of the stores listed below and mail or bring it to us (partner and address info below). Our advocates will give the gift card to a family in need. Check out the list of businesses below and corresponding the list of partners to receive the donated gift cards.
| Alfourat Grocery 1874, 1434 N 27th St #1 Lincoln, NE 68503 | Guerrero Grocery 815 S 11th St Lincoln Ne, 68508 |
| Oriental Market 610 N 27th St Lincoln, NE 68503 | Fresh International Market – Lincoln 5220 O St Lincoln, NE 68510 |
*Note: Fresh International Market is not a Lincoln-owned store, but they do offer a wide variety of Asian foods.
Other Ways to Give
Short on time?
Pick up a gift card during your regular grocery run to Super Saver, HyVee, Walmart, or any grocery store. These cards are universally helpful and deeply appreciated. Mail or bring the gift card to the Asian Center, El Centro de las Américas, or Good Neighbor Community Center. (see addresses below)
