For over 20 years, Center for People has been dedicated to addressing the basic needs of low-income individuals and supporting their journey toward economic independence. Our mission is made possible by the generosity of people like you.
This Give to Lincoln Day, we invite you to support Center for People as we continue providing essential, life-changing programs and services to individuals and families in our community.
Your gift helps open doors to opportunity, stability, and brighter futures.
Although our direct service area is Lincoln and Lancaster County, we also support those in need from over 40 Nebraska Counties.
As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to addressing the needs of our community’s most vulnerable populations, creating lasting change, and fostering resilience across Nebraska.
Here are a few examples of the services and programming we offer:
Come say hi and help us continue to empower hope in the community!
Like a guide, we provide the tools, support, and know-how so people can not only meet today’s challenges, but build a stronger tomorrow by getting back on their feet and taking ownership of their future.
Think of us like a talent pipeline in motion. We believe that strong communities build strong economies. We don’t just provide immediate relief – we help individuals move from crisis to contribution.
Our programs support working families, train people for in-demand jobs, and connect them to opportunities for growth. We are not in the business of quick fixes. We help people stabilize, upskill, and enter the workforce – so they can stand on their own and provide for their families.
We believe everyone deserves a chance to succeed. Life doesn’t always follow a straight path, and setbacks are part of the journey. But, with the right resources and a community that believe in you, progress is always possible.
From food distribution to career coaching, everything we do is personal and rooted in dignity. We don’t do the same thing for everyone. Some people need a little push, some people need a big ladder. We figure out what works for them. We are not just helpers, we’re teammates. We don’t hand out things: we work with people to help them succeed.
