Today is Give to Lincoln Day. 🧡

In one of the most recent episodes of Common Grounds, Amanda Barker of the Lincoln Community Foundation reminded us of something simple: any gift, at any size, matters. Every donation says the same thing - I care about this place and the people in it.

Now in its 15th year, Give to Lincoln Day is a single day when the whole city shows up for the nonprofits doing the quiet, essential work of holding our community together. Every donation made today is stretched further by a $650,000 challenge match fund.

We're giving to a handful of organizations whose work we believe in. We'd love for you to join us!

You have until 11:59 tonight. Find your causes and give at givetolincoln.com.

Who are you giving to this year? Tell us in the comments. ☕

Before Lulubee Chocolates had a storefront, Gaylene walked into The Coffee Roaster and asked if we'd be her first wholesale partner. We obviously said yes.

In this moment from her Common Grounds conversation, she talks about that day — and what it is about Lincoln that made her think to ask.

Full episode on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.
