April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach (mtko.org) is ready to celebrate! Volunteers are the heart and soul of Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach, and for over 30 years and counting, they have faithfully served at this organization.
In 2022, an average of 470 unduplicated volunteers served each month and contributed a total of 24,562 hours of service. Groups and individuals help out in a variety of ways, including hunger relief, laundry and shower services, reception, meal card scanning, organizing donations, trash pick-up and more.
There are also seasonal volunteer opportunities, such as in the spring and summer with the onsite Hope Garden. The Director of Hunger Relief & Volunteerism Victoria O’Neil works with interested groups and individuals to find where help is most needed around the organization.
