On Saturday, September 29th, over 500 youth and adults volunteered before the Nebraska vs. Wisconsin football game to raise $42,000 in support of Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach’s (MTKO) hunger relief and homeless prevention services! MTKO volunteers accepted monetary donations throughout the day in the downtown area, Sam’s Club and Walmart stores, and at Southpointe and Gateway Malls.
In addition to the efforts of the community volunteers, 41 local businesses sponsored the event. Special thanks to Tom Osborne and the University of Nebraska Athletic Department for helping to promote the event, and the Newman Center for allowing MTKO to use their facility during the event.
