People’s City Mission: Run For The Homeless
The People’s City Mission is the only homeless shelter in the city of Lincoln. On average we house about 350 men, women, and children who are impoverished and in transient. These are real lives, real kids, real men, and real women who live with us. It’s staffed twenty-four hours a day and open 365 days a year. In other words, we never shut down. It takes the community coming together to keep us running at the level we do. We couldn’t reach the amount of people we do without your help.
