Youth Action Board-Lincoln, NE

Due to the dangerously low temperatures over the next several days, CEDARS Youth Opportunity Center will be open 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. All youth are welcome to come in, warm up, and access resources like food, water, and other supports.

///EDIT FOR MORE INFO///
For those of you asking how you can help in addition to getting the word out and praying for the homeless and our staff: �

• Send a financial donation here: https://secure.pcmlincoln.org/forms/donate

• Purchase items from our Amazon Wish list that are sent directly to the shelter here: https://a.co/5RcBDIM

• Drop off items to donate (twin sized blankets, warm socks, gloves, sleeping mats) at our shelter at 110 Q St., but we encourage caution when going out with the weather expected. Stay safe!

We are overwhelmed, but not surprised, at the outpouring of love and care for the homeless in Lincoln. THANK YOU.

The next several days are going to be dangerously cold for anyone out on the streets. With more snow on the forecast, the dropping temperature and wind chill can be fatal to the homeless.

We are opening our doors to EVERYONE. If you need a place to stay, head to the Mission. This also applies to anyone who has been asked to stay away from PCM. Our main priority is keeping the homeless safe. ❤️

Please help us in spreading this message. If you see anyone on the streets, please tell them to seek shelter and that the Mission on 110 Q St. is open.

If you have any questions, give us a call at 402-475-1303.

Let’s link arms Lincoln and keep our most vulnerable safe. 🫶🏼

The next Youth Action Board will be on Thursday, December 14th at 4p at the CEDARS Youth Opportunity Center, 1620 N St. Please RSVP to 402-770-0619 to ensure we have food for everyone. The YAB will be reviewing information for the annual Point in Time Count coming up in January and paperwork for newly implemented Youth Homeless Demonstration Project housing programs.

We hope to see you, thank you!
