Local Businesses Participate in Matt Talbot Groundbreaking

On April 18, Executive Director Susanne Blue, members of the Matt Talbot (mtko.org) Board of Directors, and representatives from Sinclair Hille Architects and Hampton Enterprises, Inc. donned hard hats and safety vests for the official ground-breaking of Matt Talbot’s building expansion project.

Work has already started on the expanded parking lot, garage for the outreach van, and on the building expansion itself. Once the 2,500 square foot addition is completed, there will be office, meeting and storage space to support Matt Talbot’s expanded substance abuse and housing services. Special thanks to Hampton Enterprises, Inc. and Sinclair Hille Architects for their work on the building expansion project.

“This growth of our physical space correlates with the growing BOLD HOPE we have for the impact our substance use, housing, and outreach services have on the homeless and near homeless in Lincoln,” said Susanne Blue, Executive Director. “We are striving to achieve our vision to defeat hunger and homelessness and restore hope. With the support of the community, we can do this.”

The fundraising goal for the building expansion is $750,000. An anonymous donor has pledged a generous challenge gift where every dollar donated will be matched up to $250,000. Learn more and donate at mtko.org.
