A Safe Place for KidsStarts With You
This Give to Lincoln Day, please consider a gift to CEDARS to ensure that we can continue to be a safe place for kids in need. Always.
Our Mission
Every day, kids arrive at CEDARS with nowhere else to go. No safe place to sleep. No stable adult to rely on. No home to return to.
CEDARS has been that safe place for nearly 80 years because this community shows up for kids in need. But funding has shifted, and the safety net is thinner than it used to be. Now more than ever, kids who have no home are relying on this community to show up.
Give to Lincoln Day is your chance to be here for kids.
A gift to CEDARS helps us meet kids where they are and support them as they move toward a brighter future. And when you choose to give during Give to Lincoln Day, your impact goes even further with a match fund from the Lincoln Community Foundation.
This special event is more than just a day of giving. It’s a chance to make a lasting impact on the life of a child. Now through May 28, please consider a gift to CEDARS to ensure that we can continue to be a safe place for kids. Always.
