Lincoln is known for coming together to help neighbors in need. Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska (csshope.org, CSS) recently teamed up with People City Mission (PCM) to help struggling families and individuals get back on their feet.
PCM’s Day Without Shoes event is a campaign to help raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a person’s life. Held every April, the community is encouraged to donate their new or used shoes or make a cash donation to help every struggling family get a pair of shoes.
This year, CSS was blessed to be able to donate 700 lbs. of shoes to the event! PCM posted this message, “Thank you Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska for donating 700 lbs of shoes for the homeless and impoverished! We love seeing our community come together for such a good cause. Thank you for caring for Lincoln’s most vulnerable.”
Catholic Social Services is a nonprofit organization that has been around for nearly a century helping people in need of all backgrounds and faiths across 24,000 square miles of Southern Nebraska. CSS programs include Family Support Services, providing crucial financial assistance; the St. Gianna Program; Food Market and Meal Services; Refugee Resettlement; Immigration Legal Services and Employment Services.
