2025 End of the Year Giving

As we approach the end of 2025, our 40th year of service here at The Salt Mine, we pause to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared with our community in Lincoln and Sheridan. This year has deepened our commitment to our mission, ensuring that no adult, child, or senior goes hungry. We witnessed the profound impact of a generous community through every food box we have distributed.

Looking back, 2025 brought both challenges and triumphs. With rising costs and growing needs, our Food Closet stepped up to serve over 1,700 families, providing nutritious meals for thousands of individuals across 40,000 requests for help. Our Thrift Store continues to thrive, turning your donated items into vital resources that keep our doors open. And through it all, we’re reminded that true service is for us to love our neighbors as ourselves.

One story that touches us deeply is from a local family who visited us during a tough season: “The Salt Mine didn’t just give us food; they gave us hope when we needed it most. The warm welcome and kind words made all the difference for our kids.” This is how your generosity changes lives!

As we turn the page to 2026, your support is more important than ever. Year-end gifts help us stock our shelves for the winter months ahead and expand our reach to even more families in need. Whether it’s a one-time donation or a monthly commitment, every contribution makes a real impact. Give the gift of hope today and help us continue this vital work.

Please consider The Salt Mine for your end of the year giving. Thank you for standing with us—your generosity truly changes lives.
