Cancer has touched too many families in our communityโ€ฆ

Whether itโ€™s through a personal diagnosis, the loss of someone we love, or the fear and uncertainty that comes with not knowing, the weight of cancer should not be carried alone.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re bringing FREE cancer screenings to Lincoln next Friday, August 28th from 4-8pm.

If you're due for a screening, have questions about your cancer risk, or need to share your story with others, we want you to join us! To register, visit: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=2Y1kdKbA1E2_onCNHZTIsIxU6EP29FxOga9tblE2L4ZUQk5QOVJaR0VXMlRGODRKN1AzRkZKWlJHMy4u&route=shorturl

โค๏ธNo insurance required
โค๏ธ On-site screenings for breast, lung, colorectal & prostate
โค๏ธInterpreters & childcare available

This event is made possible through our partnership with One Stop Cancer Shop , Bryan Health, and Mt Zion, bringing healthcare professionals, community connection, and cancer screening services together in one place.

Your health matters. Letโ€™s take the first step together.

Tonight, the Good Neighbor Community Center Board of Directors met to review our fiscal year outcomes, and we are pleased to share this Report to the Community.

During the 2025โ€“2026 fiscal year, GNCC provided ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ,๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ• ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐Ÿ“,๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ง๐ž๐ข๐ ๐ก๐›๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ. This work was made possible by our generous financial supporters, community partners, volunteers, donors, and dedicated staff.

GNCCโ€™s work is organized around three primary program pillars:

๐ŸŽ ๐…๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ
GNCC provided 26,260 food services and distributed 519,566 pounds of food through our pantry, fresh-produce distributions, and other food-access programs. These services helped families put nutritious food on their tables while navigating rising household expenses.

Through the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, grant funders, and community partners, GNCC distributed clothing, diapers, personal-care items, household goods, bedding, shoes, gifts, and other necessities. These items were provided ๐…๐‘๐„๐„ of charge to neighbors experiencing financial hardship or an immediate need.

GNCC staff walked alongside refugee and immigrant families through interpretation, resource navigation, employment assistance, education, health programs, case management, referrals, and support groups. These services help individuals and families understand available resources, overcome language and cultural barriers, and build greater stability in their new community.

You can plan on this additional produce distribution every Thursday until further notice.

With todayโ€™s hot weather, please avoid arriving too early. We encourage everyone to wait until itโ€™s closer to 1:00 p.m. before coming, as our doors will open at that time.

We look forward to seeing you this afternoon!
