Lincoln Warm Winter Wish

Although it's sometimes hard to believe, there are homes in our community without a working furnace to provide heat throughout Lincoln's harsh winter weather. As a heating and cooling contractor Bryant Lincoln has become aware of the need, and in 2010 we decided to use our skills and resources in an effort to make a difference. Every year since Bryant Lincoln has installed at least one, sometimes as many as three, furnaces in homes in need. With the help of Central Plains Distributing, these new high efficiency furnaces were installed free of charge. Nominate Someone

Nominate Someone in Need of a Repair or Services

Few homeowners are prepared for their furnace to break down, however many are able to pay to have it fixed or replaced. For others, a poorly working furnace can be a hardship, perhaps there is a lack of money, health complications and/or other devastating circumstances. Lincoln is large enough that many stories of those in need go unheard. This is why Bryant Lincoln has teamed up with local radio stations Froggy 98.1 FM and 1400 AM & 99.3 FM KLIN to reach out to the community for help finding well deserving people in need.

Nominations for this years Warm Winter Wish will be collected between December 15th, 2025 - January 5th, 2026.
