Nourish Logan County announces
event to benefit food pantries in Lincoln
[February 11, 2026]
NOURISH LOGAN COUNTY, an
affiliation of churches, organizations and businesses working
together to address food needs and access in Logan County, will host
popular singer CHRIS VALLILLO on February 22 at Spirited Republic,
509B Pulaski Street, Lincoln. The performance is free, and The
Buttery will offer food items for purchase beginning at 2:00pm. The
performance will begin at 3:00pm. Monetary donations to Nourish
Logan County will be accepted through cash, check or Venmo and will
go toward supporting food pantries in Logan County.
Chris Vallillo is a singer/songwriter and roots musician who
celebrates the people and places of rural America in song. Having
spent the last 30 years in the Midwest, he has a natural affinity
for American roots music. A master of finger style and bottleneck
slide guitar, Vallillo weaves original, contemporary, and
traditional songs and narratives into a compelling and entertaining
portrait of farming history and lifestyles, highlighting the
hardworking people who are the backbone of rural America. The
performance is sponsored by Heartland Bank & Trust and LMH, Lincoln
Memorial Hospital.

Nourish Logan
County was started in 2025 to expand existing resources for
local food pantries. It builds on efforts already underway at
many organizations, operating on the belief that we can do even
more through collaboration—not by replacing the good work of
local organizations, but by adding to it through focused
activities throughout the year that involve a variety of
partners. In November, Nourish Logan County held a food drive,
raffle and a week of special events, collecting hundreds of
pounds of food and raising over $1,000 for each of five Lincoln
food pantries: Lincoln Logan County Food Pantry, Jefferson
Street Christian Church Food Pantry, The Oasis Food Pantry, Holy
Family Food Pantry, and The Salvation Army Food Pantry. In the
future, Nourish Logan County expects to expand its reach into
other county locations, as well as to support a number of
micro-pantries.
