Our Food Market in Lincoln utilizes a Choice Pantry model of food distribution.
Lincoln
Food Market
The CSS Food Market in Lincoln provides families and individuals with the opportunity to shop for food items once per month. Our Food Market is set up in a client-choice model, which allows volunteers to accompany clients as they walk through and select the items that meet their needs. In addition to non-perishable foods, we provide meat, dairy products, and fresh produce (including from our on-site garden) as they become available. Nutritional information and recipes are shared in our food market and on our recipe blog (click here to view.)
Appointments for same-day food market requests are taken on a first-come, first-served basis until all requests are filled. Shopping hours for the CSS Food Market are Monday through Thursday from 1 pm to 3 pm.
Effective July 1st, 2024, calls are taken Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. To make a request, please call 402.327.6200.
Lincoln Breakfast and Lunch Program
The Lincoln Breakfast and Lunch Program began several years ago as an outreach opportunity launched by a group of volunteers. Throughout the week, our volunteers provide sack lunches to those who need them, no questions asked. Our lunches include sandwiches (prepared bi-weekly by the Knights of Columbus) and other items donated by CSS supporters.
Donations to the program can be dropped off at our O St. office during our normal business hours (see this link for our location and hours). To see our most needed items, click here. If you are interested in volunteering for this program, please follow this link to learn more.
