We help people achieve their long-term goals of economic independence. But sometimes, that starts with the things you need right now – food and diapers.. This was our primary focus when we opened our doors in 2003. It’s what we’ve become known for, and we’re really good at it.
Through the years we’ve added English Language Learning, Financial Literacy, and more programs to help people move beyond getting by – and start getting ahead.
No one can work, learn, or thrive on an empty stomach. We help with healthy food, education, and SNAP Assistance.
New parents have enough on their hands without worrying about the cost of diapers. We can help!
Learning English and U.S. cultural literacy opens doors in work and life – and helps Lincoln feel more like home.
Our education programs aren’t just about finding a better job—they’re also about living a better life.
From community gardening in the summer to toys at the holidays, activities and programs for every time of year.
Participants and learners who need additional assistance to keep their advancement plans on track can seek the guidance of an Engagement Specialist. Whether you are in need of immediate needs (food or diapers) or need help refining your resume, an Engagement Specialist can help.

Starting Jan. 1, 2024, the Center for People will only accept a current Clarity Card. This card is recognized by reputable nonprofits across Lincoln, and allows us to determine which services best meet visitors’ needs. If we can’t help you, we can connect you to the agency that can. Learn More»
