The Mission of Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach is to serve the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of Lincoln's working poor, and homeless through outreach, advocacy, education and the provision of food and shelter.

Matt Talbot provides beyond basic needs to embolden people to have hope. Everyone is welcome to walk through our open doors and get a hot meal two times a day. Nevertheless, Matt Talbot is about much more than food. We are a dedicated and united front of staff and volunteers who help the homeless and near homeless find possibilities when things seem impossible. Annually Matt Talbot provides over 100,000 nutritious meals to the hungry in Lincoln and more than 25,000 homeless prevention services such as housing, drug & alcohol evaluations, life skills classes, nutrition counseling, and help with obtaining vital identification documents.

Our vision is to defeat hunger and homelessness and restore hope!
