When families experience crises such as housing instability, food insecurity, loss of income, or untreated health and mental health challenges, the stress directly shapes a young person’s development and daily functioning. This is compounded for youth who have been in foster care, the juvenile justice system --- or both --- as they transition back to their families.

Your gift provides relief for families when they need it most, including supports like these:

$25 can provide a family with groceries for dinner tonight

$50 can provide formula for a week

$75 can provide diapers for a month

$100 can provide transportation support

$500 can provide utility assistance

$1,500 can provide a family with rental assistance

These are not extras --- they are lifelines. Please give what you can to support Lincoln’s Project Permanence and School Engagement programs as they work with youth and families to promote home stabilization and academic achievement so youth can thrive.

Your generosity strengthens the safety net that our community urgently depends on. Together, we can create real healing, real opportunity, and real change for families who need it most.
