Participation is easy! You can walk laps during the event on August 8th to collect funds, donate food at a parish food drive, or donate cash for CSS to purchase food. Each option supports Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska and the community of Lincoln.
PARISH FOOD DRIVES
- Many Lincoln parishes are hosting a food drive for the CSS Food Market throughout the year. Your generous response will help fill the food market shelves for shoppers and nourish our neighbors.
- To help you make the biggest impact, a list of the food market's most needed items will be provided at the parish and at this link. To donate, fill the bag with needed items and bring it back to the parish on the assigned collection weekend, or bring it to CSS during our open office hours (found at this link).
- Any food you donate throughout the year will count towards your parish goal! Just bring it to CSS and let us know your parish name when you drop off the items.
- To make it fun, there's a friendly competition between the parishes to collect the most food. To give each parish equal footing, the total amount of food and cash collected by each drive will be divided by the total number of families in that parish.
St. John's and St. Patrick's are encouraged to bring their food to the event on August 8th!
