We love seeing leadership in action! 🧴✨
The Leadership Lincoln Board teamed up to support our local youth by collecting hair care products for the Hygiene Product Drive! Thanks to the generosity of our board members, we gathered an incredible assortment of brushes, combs, hair ties, shampoos, and styling products.These items are headed straight to local schools to support students aged 5 to 17 years old. Having access to these everyday essentials gives students an extra boost of confidence, helping them feel their best and focus on what matters most: learning and growing.Thank you to everyone on the board who contributed to making this project a success. We are proud to invest back into the community we love! 💙
