Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach (mtko.org/events), Lincoln’s largest community kitchen and outreach center, is teaming up with volunteers and sponsors for the 26th annual Huskers Helping the Homeless to raise money for the organization’s hunger relief and homeless prevention services offered 365 days of the year. Organizers hope to raise over $55,000.
Volunteers will be in downtown Lincoln safely accepting monetary donations on behalf of Matt Talbot on Saturday, September 17 before Nebraska’s football game against the Oklahoma Sooners. Additionally, volunteers will be located at various locations throughout Lincoln from Thursday, September 15 to Saturday, September 17. Specific locations and times can be seen on mtko.org/events. Local businesses and families are invited to serve as sponsors of the event. Event sponsorships are critical to maintaining Matt Talbot’s hunger relief and homeless prevention services 365 days a year. Whether it is a few meals served with love to help a family make it until the next paycheck or one-on-one counseling to help a person experiencing chronic homelessness become successfully housed, financial contributions to Matt Talbot provide bold hope and help change lives. Donations can also be made online at mtko.org.
