People’s City Mission to Serve Free Meals on Thanksgiving Day
People’s City Mission (PCM, www.pcmlincoln.org) will once again be serving a full Thanksgiving meal to not only all of the homeless in Lincoln, but to anyone in the public who would like a free Thanksgiving meal. They will start serving at 11:30 a.m. and will go until 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. For those who are not comfortable being around crowds at this time, there will also be to-go meals available, so no one has to go without. PCM’s Help Center will also be giving away 500 baskets with everything needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal to those in need. The give-away will take place on Saturday, November 20.
If you would like to help, PCM is accepting donations of frozen turkeys, plus all of the fixings, including pies. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter at 110 Q St., or at the Help Center at 6800 P St. One more way that anyone can help is by purchasing just one meal for a homeless person. It only costs the Mission $2.51. Visit People’s City Mission at pcmlincoln.org and click DONATE.
People’s City Mission was started in 1907 by local churches, offering food and shelter for transient and impoverished men, women, and children. In 1987, PCM moved to their current location and now houses 350 men, women, and children nightly in their emergency shelters and the Curtis Center transitional housing program.
