Lincoln West Optimist Club’s Generosity Brings Warmth to Many

In December 2018, the Lincoln West Optimist Club (LWOC) in Lincoln donated 50 brand new boys and girls coats in various sizes to the Division of Parole Supervision/Lincoln Regional Parole Office.  These new high quality coats were distributed at no cost to Parole clients in need for their children who could benefit from a new winter coat. 

LWOC is a non-profit youth service organization, which began in 1969 and has about 75 members.  The club is inclusive of college students, active military members, and adults in various stages of their lives.  The organization’s mission is to positively impact the lives of youth.  The organization does this through service and through gifts.  The LWOC provides movie nights for foster families, supports the Friendship Home at Christmas, coaches baseball teams for children with disabilities, supports various scholarship programs, and supports other various sports-related activities.

Through the generosity of the LWOC, many children stayed warm during the winter season.
