Due to social distancing this year, there will not be a Give to Lincoln Day festival in Tower Square. To still celebrate the day from home, the Lincoln Community Foundation will be launching a “Chalk Your Walk” social media campaign. Community members are encouraged to spread the word about Give to Lincoln Day with colorful sidewalk chalk in their neighborhoods and post designs to social media using the hashtag #GiveToLincoln.
