LINCOLN (MTKO/SNR) – Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach (MTKO) in Lincoln invited the community to be part of a new “Huskers Helping the Homeless” celebration.
Instead of hosting their annual event with hundreds of volunteers stationed throughout Lincoln on a home-game weekend, Matt Talbot is recruiting volunteers to hold online fundraisers or simply donate $50. All money raised will support Matt Talbot’s best defense against hunger and homelessness. Service hours for students are available if needed.
Mascot Herbie Husker and former Husker standout Calvin Jones (’91-’93) who went on to become an NFL Super Bowl 31 Champion with the Green Bay Packers have joined the Matt Talbot Team this year. Jones has his own story of recovery and understands the challenges MTKO guests face and the importance of second chances.
“It’s just like when I played for the Huskers, and even in life today… when someone believes in you, supports you and there’s encouragement—that second opportunity is all you need,” Jones said.
Since 1992, Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach has been dedicated to spreading dignity and love through their mission of comprehensively addressing the needs of the homeless and near-homeless. For more information, visit mtko.org.
