LINCOLN (SNR/MTKO) - Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach in Lincoln will hold a virtual “Feeding the Soul of the City” auction July 13-17 with a theme of Christmas in July.
The annual dinner and gala was scheduled to be held at the Cornhusker Marriott March 28, and was then rescheduled for June 4. The in-person event has now been cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19 precautions.
“We look forward to this event every year and will miss being together,” said Susanne Blue, executive director. “But like many others we are pivoting and holding a virtual event instead. We are planning a fun and inspiring online event and it will provide needed financial support for our ongoing operations.”
Feeding the Soul of the City is Matt Talbot’s largest fundraising event where all money raised supports continued outreach and support of the homeless, near-homeless and hungry in Lincoln. The 2020 “Compassion in Action” award winners, John Turner and the St. Francis & St. Claire Hunger Relief Team, will be honored at the event next year.
Those who purchased reservations for the in-person event can request a refund by contacting Vicky Drozd, event coordinator, at 402-817-0619.
Auction details will be available in June. More information is available at mtko.org/fsoc.
