Each year, Give to Lincoln Day gives our community the chance to come together and support the local nonprofits that are making a real, tangible difference in people’s lives. At CenterPointe, we know what that difference looks like—it’s someone taking their first step toward a healthier life, a person experiencing homelessness finally finding stable housing, or someone in a mental health crisis receiving the compassionate care they urgently need. It’s about hope. And hope is something we all deserve.
The need for CenterPointe’s services has never been greater. In the past year alone, we served nearly 5,200 individuals, our highest number yet. That includes people accessing co-occurring mental health and substance use treatment, primary care services, housing support, crisis response, and more. Many of those we serve are living on less than $1,000 a year. For them, CenterPointe is not just a healthcare provider—it’s a lifeline.
Behind every person we serve is a story of resilience and courage. Like Frank, who, after many attempts at treatment, finally received the tools he needed to succeed. He shared, “Thanks to CenterPointe, I finally believe I can be somebody.” Frank’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible—and that support at the right time can change a life.
On Give to Lincoln Day, your gift goes even further. Every dollar donated helps us qualify for a larger share of the matching fund provided by the Lincoln Community Foundation and generous sponsors, multiplying your impact. That means your $25 donation could help provide someone with hygiene items or a recovery journal. Your $100 could cover the cost of a therapy session. Your $500 gift could help someone move into stable housing. Every amount matters—because every person matters.
With growing uncertainty around public funding for vital programs like Medicaid, Medicare, SAMHSA, and HUD, community support is more important than ever. Your donation ensures that we can continue meeting people where they are and walking alongside them as they rebuild their lives.
Give to Lincoln Day isn’t just about philanthropy; it’s about building a stronger, healthier, and more compassionate Lincoln. It’s about standing up for those who are struggling and saying, “You are not alone.”
Together, we can create a community where no one falls through the cracks. Where healthcare, housing, and hope are within reach for all.
Make your gift today. Help someone get better, sooner, for longer.
