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.
Our team is reviewing the nominations for this year's Warm Winter Wish. Recipient announcement coming soon!
Recent Recipients
Denyse - 2025 & 26
This marks the 15th year that Bryant Lincoln has given back to the Lincoln NE community through the donation of a free furnace installed in the home of someone in need. The 2025-26 recipient is Denyse. She has worked hard to finally own a house she can call home. She's put so much into the home already, but this winter was faced with the challenge of a furnace that quit.
Cheyenne & Michael - 2025 & 26
This marks the 15th year that Bryant Lincoln has paired up with Froggy 98.1 to give back to the communities in the Lincoln NE area. Each year a family, or families, in need are selected to receive a free furnace to be installed in their home. The 2025-26 recipient is Cheyenne and Michael, a daughter and father that are going through some tough times.
Susan - 2023
Susan's Warm Winter Wish nomination came from her daughter, Ashley, as well as other family and friends. Having raised both her and her sister as a single parent, Ashley is forever grateful of what Susan has done for her throughout her life. After hearing about the Warm Winter Wish, and Susan's recent furnace issues, Ashley took the time to make her nomination.
Nominate Someone in Need
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.
December 2025 marks the 15th year for Warm Winter Wish. Bryant Lincoln encourages family, friends, co-workers and even the individuals in need to complete the Warm Winter Wish online nomination form. Recipients must live in Lincoln or within Bryant Lincoln's service area of 50 miles surrounding the capitol city (Warm Winter Wish Rules).
