Forward is a ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church that seeks to help families in our community by supplementing consumable goods for their children. Families receive a monthly supplement of diapers and wipes for each child using diapers and/or pull-ups.

Forward is open every Monday except holidays from 10AM-2PM at the Trinity House, 733 S. 13th St., Lincoln, NE 68508.

Food

When available, families are welcome to take baby food, cereal, formula, or other donated food items for their children and families.

WIPES

Families receive one package of wipes per child receiving diapers or pull-ups.

DIAPERS

Families receive one package of diapers or pull-ups for each child still using diapers or pull-ups. There are 50 diapers or 30 pull-ups in a package. We have diapers from Preemie-Size 6 and pull-ups from 2T-5T.

Forward+ is an additional way families can receive support. Forward+ is a space where families can select new and gently used clothing of all sizes, households goods, toys, and books for their families. We are accepting donations of new and gently used items for Forward+.

For Families
Forward is a program of love and service to families in our community. Families do not need to provide any financial or medical records. New families can register by providing the name of the parent/guardian, names and birthdates of children who will be receiving diapers, and any contact information they would like to share. Families can also choose an “alternate pick-up person” who can pick up the diapers should the parent(s)/guardian be unavailable that month.
For Volunteers
Forward would not be able to serve our community without the amazing service of our volunteers! Our distributions are run almost entirely by volunteers who work in one or two hour shifts about two times a month. Volunteers also help by picking up diapers from the store, packaging diapers for our families, organizing and cleaning the Trinity House, and maintaining Forward+. If you are interested in volunteering for Forward, please contact the Trinity Church Office at 402-474-0606 or Bethany Mrosko at bmrosko@trinityoflincoln.org.
For Donors
Forward is completely funded through generous donations. We are always accepting donations of diapers from any brand in sizes Preemie through Size 6 and pull-ups size 2T-5T; any brand of wipes; and baby food, baby cereal, or formula. If you prefer to donate financially, we are happy to do the shopping for you! For Trinity members, monetary donations can be given through the Outreach Envelope by checking the “Forward” box. Checks can be made out to “Trinity Lutheran Church” with “Forward” on the memo line. If you have any questions about donating, please contact the Trinity Church Office at 402-474-0606 or Bethany Mrosko at bmrosko@trinityoflincoln.org.
