Our silent auction will feature lots of fun items: concert & sports tickets, dine out packages, getaways,& more! Bidding is online only, opens 3/5, and closes during our gala on 3/15. Bid from anywhere, even if you can’t attend our event (but we’d love for you to join us!) Don’t miss out: Get the Handbid app now to register for updates on items & when bidding begins!

Your partnership with us will provide crucial services for the many Nebraskans we help with:

  • Family support services
  • Food assistance
  • Immigration legal assistance
  • Refugee resettlement
  • Shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence

Your support will help us bring Hope in the Good Life to those we help throughout southern Nebraska!

2025 Heart of Christ Award will be presented to MIKE HOSEK!

Since 2021, Mike Hosek has led an impressive and innovative effort to restock the shelves of our CSS Lincoln Food Market. With the Walk to End Hunger year-long food drive, Mike encourages friendly competition between local Knights of Columbus councils, solicits corporate sponsors for the August wrap-up walk event at Pius X HS, and organizes countless tasks, ensuring it’s a fun, well-attended success. We’re honored to present him with the 2025 Heart of Christ award at our Celebration of Hope gala on March 15th and thank him for standing tall as he nourishes HOPE IN THE GOOD LIFE for the neighbors we feed together. Please join us at Celebration of Hope on March 15th as we honor Mike and his work!

NEW THIS YEAR: an innovative short activity allowing attendees to walk alongside a CSS Family Support Services client as we explore their unique situation and decide how to meet their needs.

Our banquet venue: Embassy Suites Lincoln (1040 P St, Lincoln, NE 68508)
