Food for Thought

On September 6, 1992 Matt Talbot served it's first meal to the hungry and homeless of Lincoln.  More then twenty-five years and 2 million meals later, Matt Talbot is now a permanent fixture of Lincoln's safety net with volunteers providing meals and professional staff offering a wide range of outreach services to prevent and alleviate homelessness.

Meet Brian: "They saved my life."

Meet Brian: "They saved my life."

Brian was homeless, addicted to methamphetamine and sleeping in a parking garage before he entered Matt Talbot's Transitional Housing Program and decided to go into treatment. Two years later he is sober, employed and living with his son in their own apartment. This transformation from using substances and sleeping in a parking garage involved a lot of hard work, bold hope, and so much love. We are proud and grateful. Way to go Brian!  

"Matt Talbot pulled me off the street and helped me to get clean. They saved my life, and I am grateful for it." - Brian, Transition House Resident
