Helping Hands Auction

Making a Difference Together

Mark your calendars for the 20th Annual United Way Women in Philanthropy Helping Hands Auction on Thursday, January 21, 2027.

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 20th year, the Helping Hands Auction raises funds to give families Safe Starts by providing diapers, car seats, and warm children's clothing to families who would otherwise not have access to them. This year, the auction will also benefit Nebraska Kidney Association to support families with children on dialysis living in Lancaster County.

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