The Multiple Sclerosis Support Group of Lincoln participated in the National MS Society’s annual fundraising walk this spring.  Members of the Lincoln Trailmixers raised $13,855 through their efforts, earning a second place in the Society’s Folsom event!

The MS support Group is one of several support groups who receive grants from the Lincoln Hills Foundation.  This grant helps pay for meeting room rental and tuition for online classes from the MS Achievement Center for members.

Food Insecurity Among Seniors

Did you know that in 2021, 5.5 million seniors aged 60+ faced hunger. That’s 1 in 14 seniors or 7.1% of all seniors. Hunger takes a severe toll on seniors’ health and nutrition – putting them at risk for chronic health conditions like depression, asthma, and diabetes.

The Lincoln Hills Foundation funds grants to organizations that provide food or meals to seniors facing food insecurity.  The Salt Mine located here in downtown Lincoln provides food and pantry boxes at no cost to seniors.  These boxes may include produce, dairy products, and bread. Items in fresh boxes vary based on availability.  Please check out the Salt Mine if you or someone you know is in need.

The Benefits of Support

by Linda Tinsman

Why was I brought to tears when I received an American Girl Doll for my 73rd birthday?  Because that doll is Joss and she is deaf in one ear and wears a hearing aid in the other—JUST LIKE ME!  That’s the power of knowing you are not alone.  The Lincoln Hills Foundation understands that power and so provides grants to six support groups in our community.

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the benefits of a support group are:

• to learn new information and strategies for preventing or confronting problems,
• to find emotional and other support from others and the opportunity to help others, and
• to build confidence in your ability to cope and address issues.

The Lincoln Hills Foundation uses your donations to provide grants to the MS, Alzheimers, Bereavement, Bosom Buddies, Hearing Loss, and Low Vision groups to support their programs.  This provides their members the opportunity to meet with others and to know they are—JUST LIKE ME.

The Lincoln Hills Foundation – 20 Years Strong

In 2002, Del Webb Corporation provided $5000 in startup funds to establish the Lincoln Hills Foundation (LHF) to provide support for residents who experienced challenges as they aged in place. Thus began the collaboration between the SCLH Community Association and the Lincoln Hills Foundation that has continued for the past 20 years and will continue long into our future.

The purpose of the Foundation was to “receive donations and generate funds for the support of programs which meet the physical, educational and/or social needs of the senior residents of Sun City Lincoln Hills.” In 2007, the LHF board expanded the support of seniors to include “the surrounding community of Lincoln.” The LHF is a 501(c)3 public benefit nonprofit corporation, operated and managed 100% by volunteers. As a charity organization, donors know that every dollar raised as a donation is used to support its programs through grants.
