Lincoln Couple Raises Over $2,000 for Little Free Pantry

Lincoln & Hastings Kearney, NE, September 22, 2026 —

A local couple from Lincoln has successfully gathered substantial resources to support a community initiative aimed at combating food insecurity. Dan and Beth Alberts, residents of Lincoln, have raised over $2,000 in both cash and food donations. These contributions are designated to stock a Little Free Pantry situated in the northeast area of the city.

The Little Free Pantry is located outside St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The donations collected by the Alberts are intended to ensure that this pantry can remain stocked and operational for a period of one year. The initiative focuses on providing accessible food items to individuals and families in need within the community.

Details regarding the specific breakdown of cash versus food donations were not immediately available. Additionally, information on the exact timeline of the fundraising campaign or the specific types of food items collected was not provided. The Alberts’ effort aims to create a sustainable resource through community support.

Little Free Pantries operate on a ‘take what you need, leave what you can’ philosophy, serving as a decentralized, community-driven approach to addressing immediate hunger needs. The success of the Alberts’ fundraising campaign highlights local engagement in supporting such charitable efforts.

The long-term impact of this effort is expected to be significant, providing a consistent supply of essential goods for those who utilize the pantry at St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The organizers have stated the goal is to sustain the pantry for a full year, offering a reliable point of access for community members.
