Special Updates for Hunger Relief Volunteers
Steak Available for Teams To Use in Meals
In January we received a donation of 600 plus pounds of bottom and top round steaks from UNL. This meat is raised and butchered by UNL students, then frozen and stored in their freezers---the entire process is inspected by USDA. Each frozen package is around 1 to 2 pounds of steak. Hunger relief teams are more than welcome to use this beef. Suggestions for a meal could include Swiss steak, beef stew or soup, steak fajitas or chili.
Contact Sydne at 402-817-0622 or email to sydne.wirrick-knox@mtko.org if you would like to reserve any of these steaks or would like recipe ideas.
