Little Free Pantries (LFP) are weather and animal-proof structures that store food and other items for those in need. They are accessible 24/7 and located in neighborhoods, typically in front yards or by sidewalks. LFP's are built by and stocked by private citizens who want to help those in need in their community.
Meals on Wheels provide a warm, nutritious lunch and daily safety check for older adults at home in Lincoln. Delivery from Tabitha Health Care in private vehicles requires about 1.5 hours. Teaming up with another volunteer is encouraged, but not required.

Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) is an intensive program for high school students sponsored by clubs in our District 5650. This program is a 48-hour overnight event held at Camp Calvin Crest near Fremont, NE. Goals are to develop critical leadership, promote community service, and build self-confidence and self-esteem. Lincoln South Rotary Club provides scholarships for students selected for the program.
The Dictionary Project is a collaborative effort by Lincoln South, Lincoln East and Lincoln 14 (Downtown) Rotary Clubs. We provide a dictionary to every third-grade student in both Lincoln public and parochial schools. Rotarians label, box and deliver dictionaries each year, with the goal of promoting literacy among young students. Not all students have regular access to digital devices so printed materials are still important to ensure students have access to information.
