Check Out Hunger 2024

November 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024

An estimated 65,410 of our neighbors here in Southeast Nebraska are food insecure. With every $1 donated, the Food Bank of Lincoln can provide approximately two meals for neighbors facing hunger. This holiday season, you can give the gift of nourishing meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity in your community.

Donate Funds

Check Out Hunger

Many area grocery stores have made it even easier to help this holiday season! Each participating store will feature Check Out Hunger displays. You can donate in $1, $5 and $10 increments at checkout stands. Peel the amount you wish to give from the display and the cashier will apply the donation to your total.

Donate Food

Holiday Food Drive

Thanks to our community partners, you can take part in a Holiday Food Drive. Food Bank donation barrels will be set up in participating stores to collect your non-perishable, non-expired food and personal care items during store hours. Click here to see a list of our most-needed items.
