We have been on the receiving end of Hallmark Cards generosity for years and years. They just blew us away by designing and building a gorgeous installation for our new Kansas Distribution Center. It not only represents the Lawrence landscape and how the crops fuel the work we do, but also the legacy of The Reuter Organ Co. who previously built their custom pipe organs in what is now our space. A special thanks to Matt Kesler for so thoughtfully designing this piece. We will be enjoying your handiwork for years to come!

Congrats to Ben Durbin, our Community Engagement Coordinator, for winning this month's Can-Do Award! “The Volunteer Engagement Center team found themselves in a staff pinch this past Saturday morning and Ben stepped after a brief tutorial and helped get groups going until other staff could arrive. His willingness to help out and get in there and get it done so our volunteers didn't miss a beat was incredible. In addition, Ben has also been working to be proactive on projects and needs, which helps the VEC team out immensely. We appreciate you Ben for your teamwork, creating a quality work environment and your mission driven mindset!”

For the United States as a whole, food insecurity rose substantially. For Kansas and Missouri, the numbers were mixed. Read on to see the results: https://ow.ly/oKXW50SQt4Q
