Helping Hands Auction

Making a Difference Together

Mark your calendars for the 18th Annual United Way Women in Philanthropy Helping Hands Auction on Thursday, January 23, 2025.

United Way’s Women in Philanthropy provides women an opportunity to make an impact on the quality of life in Lincoln and Lancaster County through support of United Way and CHAD. These women are business leaders within the Lincoln community who take an active role in making our community a better place to call home.

Now celebrating its 18th year, the Helping Hands Auction raises funds to provide diapers and winter clothing to children and their families who are in need of basic necessities. This year, the auction will also benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - Nebraska’s work with HOPE squads in LPS middle and high schools.

Corporate Sponsorships are available. Contact Michelle Bring, mbring@unitedwaylincoln.org or 402-441-8699 for more info.
