Larry spent much of his career working to help improve the health of Kansans. So, it only makes sense that he would spend time volunteering with the Kansas Food Bank in his retirement.
Larry’s career took many turns from media management to working on a family farm and ultimately to healthcare
philanthropy.
While working at the Sunflower Foundation, Larry was introduced to the vital work of the Kansas Food Bank.
Before Larry retired, the Sunflower Foundation provided a grant in support of the Food Bank’s facility on Douglas which laid the foundation for the expanded services we provide today.
On a site visit to the Food Bank during that time, Larry says he realized, “This would be a wonderful place to volunteer.”
Since then, Larry volunteers at the Food Bank every Thursday.
To encourage everyone to volunteer, Larry says, “[It’s] so easy to see the important need that we’re helping meet. If you’re looking for something… that makes you feel like you’re contributing in a meaningful way — this is the kind of thing to do.”
Thank you, Larry — and every volunteer who donates their time and energy. It is because of friends like you that we are able to continue ensuring that no Kansan goes hungry.
