Meet Brian Wrozek
I'm employed by the Michigan Air National Guard in Battle Creek, MI, a 35-year veteran. I hold the rank of Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt). My position is with the 217th Air Communications Squadron (ACOMS) as an Operations Superintendent. I'm single and a member of St. Catherine's Parish, Portage, MI. I initially found out about the Bread of Life program from the parish Knights of Columbus Counsel. After more than a year with the program, I would not change a thing. Volunteering gives me an additional sense of purpose and community while making new friends and serving the great good. The challenge of stocking tables and filling boxes with nutrition for life and being on the sharing end of handing out those boxes of non-perishable and fresh food gives me a sense of pride and appreciation. I try to live up to the quote by Winston Churchill, "You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give."
Meet Karla Kaczmarski
My husband and I have 3 wonderful boys (ages 21, 19 and 15) who I have enjoyed staying home to help raise. I enjoyed volunteering at their elementary school in various capacities and kept busy volunteering and supporting their extra-curricular activities. My volunteer time decreased over the past couple of years as the boys have gotten older. As part of my Lenten obligations one year, I decided to get back into volunteering. I found the Bread of Life Ministry through Catholic Charities and enjoy volunteering every Tuesday giving back to the community. I have been blessed in many ways, and it makes me feel good to know that I can share my time and talents to help others.
