We have been challenged once again by the Nebraska Thrivent Chapter to collect 500 canned and nonperishable food items during the month of November (see the list below for the most needed items at this time). By completing this challenge, the Lincoln Lutheran Food Pantry will receive all the food collected plus a $500 check from the Nebraska Chapter. Last year First Lutheran rose to the challenge and collected 1,115 items! So, let’s go First Lutheran! Let’s accept this challenge and help feed the hungry in Lincoln!
