2022 HOMETOWN HEROES MAGAZINE

2022 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May / June 2022 Page 5 Way, as well as a hundred other organizations and charities. This list does not even begin to document all the charities and charitable acts Charlie has performed. Every year Charlie works with the Lincoln Mayor in a city wide food basket drive. WLCN is on hand to promote the event. And every year they top the previous year in food collected to help those who are truly in need. Charlie Lee brings out the best in those who work for him with kindness, making employee desire to be a better person. The employees all have a sense of loyalty first to Charlie, and IGA second. Charlie treats each employee the same wonderful way, and believes that everyone deserves a chance. Charlie took special care of all his employees through the pandemic, and inspired them to fight hard to keep the store open and running for the community through covid. Humble, generous to a fault, non- judgmental, and having a heart twice the size of his body, Charlie Lee is truly worthy of being called one of our Hometown Heroes! [Jim Youngquist with Kate Newman]
