Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach (MTKO) hosted its annual Feeding the Soul of the City dinner and fundraising event on March 26th at Nebraska Innovation Campus. Because of the generosity of the 55 corporate and individual sponsors, the 350 guests who attended, and the many who gave donations prior to the event, Matt Talbot raised a record setting gross amount of over $130,000.
Compassion in Action awards were presented to Joyce Champoux and Southwood Lutheran Church. Since 1993 Joyce Champoux has faithfully served the working poor and homeless through her volunteer work at Matt Talbot. Southwood Lutheran Church does a tremendous amount of work in the area of hunger relief throughout the Lincoln community, along with organizing an annual Easter Egg Hunt at Matt Talbot and donating gift cards and other needed supplies. The congregation is an inspiration to many in all their outreach efforts both locally and abroad.
Serving lunch and dinner seven days a week, Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach is a hunger relief and outreach center for those in need. Learn more at www.mtkserves.org.
