On Friday, August 15, members were given a tour of the Help Center at 6800 P Street and spent time cleaning and organizing much needed donations. The center also provides monthly food baskets with it's own food pantry.
Donations of food are always welcomed at the Help Center.
People's City Mission was started in 1907 by local churches, offering food and shelter for transient and impoverished men, women and children. Today, the People's City Mission is Lincoln's primary homeless shelter housing 350 men, women, and children on an average day. PCM provides emergency and transitional housing to both men and families (including single mothers).
The Help Center, opened in 1990, takes the donations our community gives us and distributes them to low-income families within the community for no cost. Here we collect and then distribute food, clothing, household items, furniture, toys, and personal care items. Donation hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Saturdays, 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
The PCM Free Medical Clinic opened in July 2009 to provide free medical, dental, chiropractic, and behavioral health care to low-income Lincoln residents without medical insurance.
