Letters to the Editor

Lincoln Daily News welcomes letters of appreciation, information and opinion on matters pertaining to the community. 
 
Controversial issues:
As a community we need to be able to talk openly about matters that affect the quality of our lives. The most effective and least offensive manner to get your point across is to stick to the issue and refrain from commenting on another person's opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the editor:

I was driving down Kickapoo Street the other day and noticed the new Salvation Army building. What I am wondering is why it isn’t being used for the homeless or a woman’s shelter. People have donated money so people can get help when times get tough.

I talked to a lady that went in there to see about getting some food and was turned down because it was not the right day to get food and told to go somewhere else to get help.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT??? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE? I think that is just WRONG. I think they need to review their policy and change it. People need help today, not next week.
