Social Concerns Announcements:
FLC is volunteering at the Washington County Recycling Center on Saturday, February 26th from 8:00a – noon. We are the designated volunteer group for this day so are looking for a minimum of 10 volunteers from 8a-10a and
10a – noon. This is a great opportunity to support our community along with a number of “FLC regulars” who work at the center each week! Volunteers will unload vehicles and deliver materials to stations – gloves are recommended. Youth under 12 should be accompanied by a parent. There is a sign-up sheet on the Welcome Center or you may contact Trudy Hutton (402-426-4358) or Lynette Jennings (402-278-0164) to be added to the list. Thank you FLC!

Our 10th Annual “HAVE A HEART FOR HUNGER” campaign started on February 1, and will continue throughout the month in support of the Washington County Food Pantry. Here are the categories we are targeting for the FLC food ingathering each week throughout the month:
Week 4 Miscellaneous Toiletries Week (individual toothbrushes, bar soap, toilet tissue)
We will have a grocery cart and/or plastic bins available at a convenient location to collect these items, which will be delivered to W.C.F.P. and weighed after each weekend’s collection. Our goal for this collection is 600 pounds. Monetary gifts are also invited, which can be taken to the office. You will receive updates after each week’s collection, making it possible to track our progress toward this goal.
Please note there is both a plastic and a wooden Receptacle for gifts to the WASHINGTON COUNTY FOOD PANTRY are available to receive your food donations at FLC at any time!
