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:

Upcoming Hunger Relief Needs

We still have several upcoming dates available for teams to serve meals:

August

• August 22, 24 (lunch)

• August 10, 29 (dinner)

If your group is looking for a way to get involved, this is a great opportunity to make a direct impact.

Ways to Serve a Meal

There are several flexible options for teams interested in serving:

• Provide, Prepare & Serve: Teams purchase ingredients, prepare the meal, and serve it. This option helps reduce food costs, allowing more resources to go toward housing and case management services.

• Pay & Serve: Teams make a $300 donation to cover food costs, and staff prepare the meal while volunteers serve.

• Sides & Serve: Teams provide side dishes while staff prepare the main entrée, helping share the cost of the meal.

Hellos and Goodbyes

Please join us in thanking Jillian Soden, our Nutrition Intern, who has successfully completed her internship with Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach. We are grateful for her dedication and many contributions to our Hunger Relief Program, and we wish her all the best as she continues her graduate education.

We're also excited to welcome our new Nutrition Intern, Lillian "Lily" Bures, who joined our team in late July. Stay tuned to next month's newsletter to learn more about Lily!

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.

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.
