Employees who make a difference
Many of MKC’s
employees take great pride in donating their time to their communities and
charitable organizations.
LeRoy (Lee) Goertzen
has been driving MKC’s route truck for the past four years following his retirement
from the commercial trucking industry.
To keep himself young and in shape, he walks daily. Lee recently walked for a good cause by
participating in the Christian Rural Overseas Program (CROP), raising over
$1,200. At 77 years of age, he was the
oldest participant.
“It’s a good thing to help poor people,” stated Lee. “I wasn’t sure at first if I would be able to complete the six miles, but I felt good so I kept going.”

Another employee who's making a difference
As previously reported, several of the employees at MKC take great pride in donating their time and talents to their communities. Matt Henderson, Location Manager, in Longford, Kansas volunteers as a little league wrestling and baseball coach for youth and teens ages 6 to 18 years. He has been coaching for the past six years.
"I volunteer not only because I enjoy spending time with the kids and helping them learn a new sport, but also because I think sports can help kids develop skills they will need as adults. Dealing with adversity and achieving goals are some of those skills." - Matt Henderson
