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:

Fresh Produce & Protein Available for Hunger Relief Teams

Just a reminder that we have fresh fruits and vegetables available for Hunger Relief teams to use. Please contact Lily or me to find out what items we currently have on hand.

If your team is in need of protein, we currently have ground beef (teams are allotted up to 20 lbs.), boneless skinless chicken breast, and Chick-fil-A available. If you plan to use Chick-fil-A, we ask that it be incorporated into a dish rather than served on its own as nuggets.

If your team is having difficulty providing a main dish for your meal, please reach out to me and we can discuss available options.

Thank you for all you do to support our guests!

Holiday Meals

The holidays are quickly approaching. Please take a moment to check the calendar and confirm that your team is able to cover your scheduled shifts during November, December, and January.

If you are unable to cover your meal, please contact me as soon as possible so we can send out a request for coverage.

We truly appreciate your commitment, especially during the holiday season—your support makes a big difference for our guests. Thank you!

Huskers Helping the Homeless Turns 30!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Huskers Helping the Homeless, and there are more ways than ever to get involved!

Registration is now open for our traditional collection volunteers. Volunteers help collect donations at local stores throughout the week leading up to the game and downtown on game day.

Volunteers Needed!

We’re looking for volunteers to help with our Laundry & Shower Program on Fridays from 1:00–4:30 PM.

Have a little extra time? We’re also building a call list for substitute reception support when coverage is needed.

• Flexible opportunities

• Training provided

• A great way to make a direct impact in our community

If you’re interested in volunteering or being added to our call list, please reach out—we’d love to have you involved!

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Anthony or me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for all that you do to support our guests and our mission.
