December 3, Guest Speaker, Alynn Sampson

Thank you to Alynn Sampson for sharing the history, mission and goals of Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach. Matt Talbot has a long history serving the most vulnerable in Lincoln, providing safety nets and resources in critical areas.  Along with the direct services provided, Matt Talbot staff participate in weekly calls with other Lincoln agencies to coordinate resources and activities for clients.  We appreciate Alynn's time in answering our questions, including topics about housing and the continuum of care list.
