 "We're hoping as many
people as possible stop by and donate whatever they can," said Julie
Burr, hotel general manager. "Every donation -- no matter what size
-- goes a long way to help our neighbors and friends."The Hampton
Inn is also giving thanks to those individuals who help with the
food drive by offering a drawing for prizes. For every bag of food
that someone brings in, their name will go in a drawing for one of
three prizes. The Hampton Inn is giving away three one-night stays
in their Jacuzzi suites.
Donations can be taken 24 hours a day at the hotel property, 1019
N. Heitmann Drive in Lincoln. For more information about the food
drive, call the Hampton Inn at 217-732-6729.
