The 2018 Compassion in Action Award recipients will be honored at Matt Talbot’s (MTKO.org) 13th annual Feeding the Soul of the City dinner and fundraising event at the Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel on March 22. The public is invited to attend and support Matt Talbot in its bold vision to defeat hunger & homelessness and restore hope!

The Individual Compassion in Action Award will be presented to Greg Ernst, Immediate Past Board President.
