The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was honored this month by a state charity for its efforts to proactively help low-income families access state benefits.

DHHS was the recipient of the Compassion in Action Award, given out each year by the Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach Center (MTKO), a Lincoln-based nonprofit with a mission to prevent hunger and homeless.

“The DHHS team has gone above and beyond to answer, or find the answer to, questions that do not necessarily fall within their area,” said Glenn Schawang, the center’s outreach specialist, in a statement announcing the award. “They have also been a valuable resource to the Matt Talbot Outreach staff to better serve our First HOPE housing clients.”
