A Time for Giving

Lexington, NE — December 22, 2025 — Lexington Regional Health Center (LRHC) is proud to announce that this year’s A Time for Giving clothes and food drive was the most successful in its three-year history. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Lexington community and the hard work of LRHC staff, more donations were collected than ever before.

For the third consecutive year, LRHC partnered with Heartland Chevrolet to make a meaningful difference for families in need. Donations were distributed to four local organizations:

  • Sheltering Hands (formerly Parent-Child Center)
  • Dawson County Family Partners DBA Heartland Family Partners
  • Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska

“This community never ceases to amaze us,” said Brenna Bartruff, Chief Communications Officer at Lexington Regional Health Center. “The compassion and generosity shown during this drive reflect what makes Lexington so special. Together, we are helping families when they need it most.”
