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:

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their family and friends. With the closing of 2025, it's time for hunger relief teams to turn in their in-kind donation forms for 2025. The form can be located online at mtko.org. All forms must be turned in by January 31, so please get in touch with me directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Housekeeping items

We accept donations from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm Monday – Friday. Food donations can be accepted by sta at the kitchen service door. But non-food donations, such as blankets or hygiene items, must be taken to the garage. If you are in the kitchen when someone brings a donation, please nd a sta member. If you are in the kitchen during the evening or on the weekend when sta are not on-site, tell the person with the donation to please bring the items back during the hours we accept donations.

Pests! Yuck!

No one wants pests—especially in the kitchen. We are currently working with a new pest control company, so you may notice traps in the kitchen area. While not ideal, this is a necessary step. We are taking proactive measures to ensure our kitchen remains clean and safe. If you notice anything concerning, please let Anthony or me know right away.

Upcoming meals

Please reach out to Jillian, our Nutrition Intern, Anthony, or myself if you need anything for your upcoming meals. Working together makes it better for everyone!

Here’s to an amazing 2026!
