Donations to Community Action’s Gathering Place Matched $1 for $1 through Year-End

Thanks to the support of several generous match sponsors, all monetary donations received for Community Action’s (www.communityactionatwork.org) Gathering Place, a soup kitchen serving over 29,000 hot evening meals to those struggling with hunger each year, will be matched $1 for $1.

The campaign launched on October 14 and is made possible thanks to the generosity of match sponsors who have contributed a total of $78,000. These include lead sponsor Acklie Charitable Foundation, as well as Rogers Foundation, Miriam Moeller Charitable Trust, INSPRO Insurance, Union Bank & Trust, Nebraska Presbyterian Foundation, Lincoln Rotary Club #14 Foundation, and Bukaty Companies.

“We are humbled by the tremendous support exhibited by our match sponsors,” said Vi See, executive director of Community Action. “Their partnership is making it possible to offer $1 for $1 match on donations for the Gathering Place, which is hugely motivating to individuals as they are considering their year-end giving. We hope all will join in supporting the important work of the Gathering Place, and thank all who already have!”

Community Action hopes to receive $78,000 in community contributions by December 31 to leverage the maximum $78,000 contributed by their match sponsors.
