News From the Kitchen

• Matt Talbot is hosting quarterly nutrition classes for our Hunger Relief teams. These classes are intended to provide education about health and nutrition, which is a focus for our Hunger Relief program. At least one representative from each hunger relief team is strongly encouraged to attend. There will be a $50 gift card raffle for teams to use towards their meals. Emily Gratopp, MS, ASCM-CPT from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will be teaching the class. She is the coordinator of the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in Lancaster County. Please let Victoria O'Neil know who from your hunger relief team will be attending at 402-817-0623 or victoria.oneil@mtko.org.

• FACILITY UPDATE: Bold Hope Expands - our facility expansion project - is underway! We are building office space on the front of the facility (near dish room) and a new garage on the north end of the property. A fence is placed around the construction area and parking will be limited to the east side of the lot or on west side of N. 26th St. Access to the parking lot is through the second entrance only. Construction is projected to be finished in mid to late summer. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
