Thank you to all who have participated so far in the Combined Campaign for Health and Human Services.
If you haven’t already, I hope you will consider giving back.
Every dollar you give to the Combined Campaign helps your neighbors get support, stabilize home life and move forward to lead positive, productive lives.
Every dollar helps someone like Derrick.
In 2016, after three years working toward a degree in human services while homeless, Derrick noticed his health beginning to deteriorate. Within a month, the discussions about his condition went from kidney stones to cancer. Derrick needed care he couldn’t afford.
That’s when Derrick found the Food Bank of Lincoln. They offered Derrick a job and referred him to the Community Action Partnership, which ultimately helped Derrick get his life back on track through their homelessness prevention and financial well-being programs.
Now, Derrick not only has a job but one with benefits, which has helped him get the care he needed. And now, he’s able to give back to his own community, too.
Your contribution to the Combined Campaign is an investment in the health, education and financial stability of Lincoln, a community that has nurtured the growth of our university for 150 years. The Combined Campaign is an incredible opportunity to give back and make a difference right here at home.
