The Salt Mine Needs Your Help

Dear friends of The Salt Mine,

This summer marks our 40th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion, we are aiming to raise $4,000 in new monthly recurring donations. These new recurring donations will help sustain us into the future and allow us to have stability moving forward.

As we enter the summer months, we are also facing the most difficult time of year for The Salt Mine. The Food Closet is facing financial crisis—families need more food more often, utility bills double, fuel costs increase, and holiday funding has dried up. The Salt Mine has always been funded by private monetary donations, which means that we survive by the goodwill of our neighbors and donors. We need you, our generous friends and donors, to help The Salt Mine meet our current, daily financial needs. While we are seeking new monthly donations to help us move into a more sustainable and stable place, we are also desperate for one-time donations to help meet the needs of the summer months.

We are currently looking for $40,000 to meet our summer financial needs. The Salt Mine has survived and thrived on the generosity of our community. We are relying on you, our neighbors and donors, to come through again so that we can continue to feed the hungry in Lincoln and Sheridan. Without your support, we will no longer be able to sustain our mission to help all who struggle with food insecurity in our community. Please consider giving a one-time donation or starting a recurring donation today.

Blessings,

Eric Long, President of The Salt Mine
