(KFOR NEWS February 16, 2021) On Tuesday, Spectrum announced a donation of $2,500 to the Food Bank of Lincoln, as part of the company’s national community philanthropic program, Spectrum Employee Community Grants, part of a $1 million programming commitment through year-end 2021.

“It’s critical to engage the business community in partnering with local non-profits as community needs increase,” said State Sen. Suzanne Geist. “This generous donation from Spectrum will help residents fulfill their basic needs during these difficult times.”
