Huskers Helping the Homeless Raises More Than $37,000 for Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach
LINCOLN, Neb. – The 30th annual Huskers Helping the Homeless raised more than $37,000 to support Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach and its work serving people experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty in Lincoln.
Held the weekend of October 10, the milestone event brought together 11 local sponsors, 235 volunteers, and countless community donors. Volunteers collected monetary donations outside local grocery stores, in downtown Lincoln ahead of the Nebraska-Indiana football game, and online.
“Whether it was donating online, sponsoring the event, throwing $5 in a bucket before heading to the game, or volunteering for an hour or two, every contribution made a difference,” said Alynn Sampson, executive director of Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach. “Together, we are transforming lives and changing the game for our guests and our community.”
Proceeds from the event help fund Matt Talbot’s services, including hunger relief, case management, outreach and prevention, and substance use services. Annually, the nonprofit serves more than 3,000 individuals, provides more than 265,000 meals, and delivers more than 55,000 outreach and support services.
