The Lakeview Heights area was notified this past week the Edmonson Baptist Church was at it again! They had planned one of their popular giveaways for Saturday, July 27 at the church on Highway H, rural Lincoln.
The event was spearheaded by Linda Cate and Linda says there were some changes, The Giveaway was one day only, not two, and was on Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. At 9 a.m. for one hour only, anyone over the age of 70 could shop prior to opening the doors to everyone.
Linda said there was one box limit per family. One is able to get lots of items into an Amazon box but there were limits on some items. That was so the program could help as many families as possible. According to the staff the giveaway was well stocked on laundry detergent, toilet paper, health and beauty items, and school supplies.
Because of past experiences the significant changes had to be made and they were be enforced by the Community Caring Team. A heads up, the next give away is Saturday, October 19. Those who have attended these previous giveaways are aware this is all new merchandise from major corporations and is given entirely free. ID is required to shop.
