Special Father’s Day Event!!
When: Saturday, June 8th
Where: Center for People in Need
We Need Your Help making Father’s Day a reality for thousands of Lincoln’s low-income families. On Saturday, June 8th our building will be crowded with parents and children who have come to shop for Father’s Day presents. It’s like “real” shopping for the kids, with one exception: We provide the gifts at no charge.
And that’s where you come in: We don’t charge for the gifts, but we do have to buy them. We get a great deal—every dollar we spend gets us merchandise worth $48 at full retail price—but even so, it costs a lot of money to provide enough gifts for the hundreds of kids we expect.
