Encouragement Unlimited, Inc. was founded by John Leonard Harris in 2002 to “help the unappreciated, undervalued and often overlooked people in our communities.” We service many who “fall through the cracks” of other help organization. We are blessed to not have a great deal of bureaucracy and red tape that keep us from making a difference when the help is truly needed.
Our desire is to “make encouraging and inspiring others a way of life,” not an afterthought.
We work to make our communities better by building relationships with key community partners and providing services that impact people in the ways that matter most.
We are more than an organization, we believe that everyone can do something to inspire hope in others.
We seek to make inspiring and encouraging others a way of life!
PROGRAMS – We look to build hope by “filling in the gaps” with programs and services that truly meet the needs of individuals, families and our community.
Our GAS CARD program meets the needs of people who need gas to get to work, or to transport themselves and their children.
PARTNERSHIPS – We realize that we do not have “reinvent the wheel.” We look for organizations that need the help that we can provide and believe what we believe.
POSTCARDS – We believe in the “power of encouragement” and offer it through the postcards that we send out to people all across the country. Since 2003, we have sent out over 15,000 postcards.
In 2002, Mr. Harris founded Encouragement Unlimited, Inc. a charitable nonprofit organization that has served as a resource for low-income and otherwise disadvantaged individuals and families in Lincoln and across the country for over 20 years. Along the way have been stops at the People’s City Mission, Christ Temple Mission Church, and First Baptist Church. He is also the founder of Encouragement Consulting Services, a national consulting service and co-founder of Encouragement Kingdom Outreach Fellowship, a new ministry he and his wife started in March of 2021.
John was recently honored by the Clyde Malone Community Center with the Millard T. Woods Community Service Award. He has also been added to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Wall of Honor” for his work promoting equality in his community and the Dr. Melvin Jones Mentoring Award for his work over the years with helping young people in his community. On the weekends, you can hear John broadcasting high school basketball and football.
We look to build hope by “filling in the gaps” with programming that truly meets the needs of individuals, families and our community. Our programs include:
“ENCOURAGING THE ARTS,” our partnership with the Lied Center for Performing Arts which provides tickets to Lied events for youth and adults in low-income families.
“GAS CARD PROGRAM” helping individuals and families with gas to get to work or for those living in their vehicles
“MEN’S SUIT GIVEAWAY,” our ongoing men’s clothing distribution event which allows us to offer gently used suits to men looking to “dress to impress” for job interviews, court appearances or just to look better.
“HOLIDAY BLESSING GIFT CARD PROJECT,” our annual department store gift card giveaway to identified individuals and families who are struggling during the holidays.
“ENCOURAGEMENT CARE PACKAGE PROJECT,” our partnership with Dollar Tree and generous partners to provide individuals and families with basic items (food, toiletries and cleaning supplies). We also serve those who are living on the streets or in their vehicles.
