			Woman’s Club observed GFWC’s National Day of Service by hosting a 
			food drive at their building on Saturday, September 28, 2024. 
			 They asked the community to donate items to be 
			given to local food pantries. They received more than 450 items along with 
			monetary donations.  They would like to thank all who stopped by to 
			help us combat food insecurity. We would also like to thank our 
			Corporate sponsors: Graue Chevrolet , Debbie’s Downtown Floral, 
			Family Custom Cleaners, Joyce Board, Lincoln IGA, Logan Lanes, and 
			ME Realty. We would also like to thank Ruth Sloot for creating our 
			poster/flyer. The items collected were all donated to four local 
			food pantries.  There are 34 million people in the U.S. who lack 
			access to an adequate food supply to fulfill their basic needs. 
			Among them, 9 million children are facing hunger. Fifty-three 
			million people resorted to food banks after the COVID-19 pandemic. 
			Even more alarming: EVERY county in the U.S. has families grappling 
			with food insecurity. Thank you, Lincoln, for standing with us as we 
			battle food insecurity. Sincerely,Lincoln Woman's Club
