Tickets Still Available to Bridges to Hope Freed for Life Dinner on November 13th

Tickets are still available to this year’s Hope Freed for Life Dinner held by Bridges to Hope (bridgestohopene.org). The Freed for Life Dinner and fundraising event will be held on Sunday, November 13th from 6-8 p.m. at Sheridan Lutheran Church, 6955 Old Cheney Rd. Proceeds from the fundraiser and community awareness program go towards Bridges to Hope, Followers of Christ Prison Ministry and the FEAST program at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church. Featuring the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services Director Scott Frakes as keynote speaker, reservations cost $25 per person or $200 for a table of seven guests plus one FEAST partner from the Community Corrections Center in Lincoln. These ministries provide support to inmates inside the prison and to those transitioning into the community.

Bridges to Hope in Lincoln is a non-profit agency serving men and women soon to be or recently released from correctional institutions throughout NE. The goal is to create and sustain joint efforts to prevent Reentrants from falling back into their criminal behaviors and to lower the recidivism rate. This is done by providing Reentrants with everything they need to start up a new home. Furniture, clothing, household items and hygiene products are a few of the items provided to them at no cost. All items are donated by community members. Current needs are: dressers, end tables, coffee tables, kitchen tables, and lamps.
