Aaand we're back!!

Been a while.

We're just in time to ask for your help as we get set up to support our families over winter break! ☃️

We supported more families than ever last year, and anticipate doing the same this year.

You can drop off donations at Lincoln during business hours, or contact us to coordinate. We have an Amazon wishlist, and we need pantry stable groceries, hygiene supplies, and other necessities. Check out our list for ideas!

UPDATE: WE APPRECIATE THE ORDERS, JUST ONE NOTE: WHEN SHIPPING, IF YOU CAN SPECIFY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE DELIVERY TO BE BETWEEN 7 AM-3 PM MON.-FRI. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL!

Hi all,
The Plant Sale is back! This is an incredible event and fundraiser that our plant biology teachers and students put on every year. We are not only proud of the strong and beautiful plants they produce, but also of how hard they work in the gardens. The plants will likely be gone by May 1st so get there on the first 2 days! If you have any questions you can reach out to Abes Acres or talk to Mr. Bullock or Mr Iverson at the school!

Hi all,
We are back from spring break which means that prom is coming up on us! This year if your student or someone you know needs formal attire visit Ali's Prom Project. They will help students get set up!...

Ali's Prom Project is committed to ensuring the opportunity for every teen to attend prom and other memorable events feeling confident, empowered and beautiful regardless of financial and personal circumstances. A visit to our Tacoma, Washington boutique, provides a special experience.

Hey all!

We are headed into semester 2 with our supplies restocked and ready to go!

If your student(s) needs school supplies, hygiene items, clothes, or just a little extra support have them visit us!

We are also changing from regular grocery bags to a grab-and-go setup that we are labeling "Lincoln Pantry"! If you or your student want to come down and pick out foods for home you are welcome to visit us.

Our hope is to continue to support the students and Lincoln Community into this new semester!

Happy Holidays ABE Community,

CRC is wrapping up 2021 with a bang. We supported 83 Lincoln Families, totaling 424 people. This was our biggest year ever, and the support was truly meaningful! Each family received:
• A large box of canned and dry goods
• A grocery store gift card, with extra gift cards went to our unaccompanied youth.
• At least two bags of additional groceries (packed in cool Lincoln grocery bags!!)
• Hygiene items like shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, TP and paper towels
• Spanish speaking families received additional culturally appropriate food bags
• A family-night gift with a game, or a gingerbread house, treats, popcorn, cocoa and cider

We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributed. This is truly a Lincoln community effort...the CRC is just here to coordinate and distribute the love. Every small effort made for a truly robust final product! We are grateful for you, and the deep generosity of our community.

Wishing you a safe and restful winter break, from your CRC Team.
GO ABES!! 💛🖤💛🖤
