Dear Lincoln Residents:
For over 30 years, the Lincoln Emergency Assistance Fund has been helping residents confronted by extreme financial crises to stay in our community. In the five years between FY08 and FY12, 13 residents requested a total of over $26,000, of which the Fund was able to provide about $6,000 under its guidelines.
The Fund is entirely supported by occasional donations from residents and grants from Lincoln-based organizations. Without ongoing sources of support, it is periodically in danger of running out of funds. Therefore, we are asking those who can to consider making a contribution by sending a check to:
Lincoln Emergency Assistance Fund
c/o Town Offices
16 Lincoln Road,
Lincoln, MA 01773
Thank you for helping to continue our community’s legacy of helping residents in need.
Sincerely,
Lincoln Board of Selectmen
I would like to see this as a budget line item. If we really care about people? With all the money there is in Lincoln?
