The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) and the Food Pantry in Lincoln got a boost from several dozens people who participated in a fundraising walk on September 28. In addition to raising funds, the “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” walk aimed to increase awareness of the real need in our town. The food pantry served close to 150 people in August; approximately 75% of them are Lincoln residents, according to Ursula Nowak, president of SVdP, St. Joseph Conference. In addition to food, SVdP and the food pantry also provide emergency financial help for for rent, utilities, car repairs, medical bills and other urgent needs.
