City/County Campaign Against Hunger 2026

July 20, 2026 - August 7, 2026

United Against Hunger.

We all need food. To Learn. Play. Work. Thrive. Yet, an estimated 47,380 neighbors— including 14,330 children—in Lancaster County may not know where their next meal will come from. The City/County Campaign Against Hunger aims to help alleviate hunger for neighbors in Nebraska by collecting both monetary and food donations.

 

How Can I Help?

Donate Funds:

You can help by providing monetary donations on behalf of your favorite city/county agency. Every dollar donated to the Food Bank of Lincoln provides about 2 nourishing meals for a neighbor in need. Let’s unite to end hunger in Southeast Nebraska.
