While there are many organizations doing good work in the area of food insecurity in Lincoln, we are collecting items that will go directly to the school-run food pantry at Elliott Elementary, a school with which we're building a supporting partnership.

If you'd like to contribute, you will find collection bins near the Main, Student, and New Cov Kids entrances, as well as one just outside the Student and Office entrance for after-hours donations. The Elliott staff have provided a list of suggested items, and have requested easy-open or pop-top lids when possible. Suggested items include: rice, cereal, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned meat (such as tuna, chicken, etc.), canned soup, mac and cheese, oatmeal packets, ramen, beans, pasta, pasta sauce, dried fruit, peanut butter, jelly, olive oil, powdered milk, crackers, apple sauce, nuts, granola bars.

If you find yourself in need of help during this season, please contact the Food Bank of Lincoln, or visit our list of local outreach organizations here.

If you're interested in volunteering at Elliott Elementary, please fill out this form and someone will be in touch.
