Volunteers are the backbone of Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach. Whether it is purchasing ingredients, preparing food, serving a meal, helping at the reception desk, working in the garden, or hosting a donation drive or special event-- we appreciate your investment of time and resources and want to assist you in any way we can. Here are the latest updates:

Meal Team Openings

We have more than 20 unfilled meals through the end of the year.
Please reach out for a list of available dates if interested!

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

We’re so grateful for our dedicated volunteers who make a difference every day!
If you or someone you know is looking to get involved, we currently have several ongoing opportunities available:

To-Go Containers
Remember that to-go containers are just for guests who are leaving the building. Thanks for helping us keep things running smoothly!

Dishwasher Availability
Dishwashers are provided for lunch and dinner during the weekdays. If you need a dishwasher on the weekends, please let me know and I will secure a volunteer for your team.

Food Storage Reminder
Please check for SAVE labels on any food that is not yours. We continue to have issues with food going missing from dry storage, refrigerators, and freezers. If you are bringing in food before your meal date, please use the reach-in refrigerator and freezer and label everything clearly.

Available Proteins
We recently received a generous donation of a hog from one of our donors, and Matt Talbot covered the processing. If you are interested in using some, please reach out to our Nutrition Intern, Jillian, at 402.858.7731. We also still have ground beef and whole chickens available.

Thank you for all you do to bring hope to our community!

Restore hope!
