 This property will be the new site of Home Sweet Home's Lincoln Mission Mart. It
will also have space for donation drop-off and sorting and will allow the
organization to collect goods for recycling and salvage as part of its
HSHRenew initiative. More
important, the space will also be a base of operations for expanded services
offered to the Lincoln and Logan County community via Home Sweet Home
Ministries."We have been part of the business community of Lincoln for 20
years, and we have seen that Lincoln is a community with a multitude of assets
to deal with homelessness and poverty. Home Sweet Home Ministries wants to be
part of the solutions that Lincoln is already providing," explains Matt Burgess,
chief operating officer at Home Sweet Home. "Home Sweet Home wants to develop
resources in the Lincoln and Logan County area that can help meet the needs of
individuals and families in that community."
At Thanksgiving, Home Sweet Home Ministries raised funds at the Lincoln
Mission Mart that went to support the community outreach efforts of Open Arms
Christian Fellowship in Lincoln. The outreach helped provide a Thanksgiving meal
to hundreds of Lincoln citizens.
