When you ask about Ken Kupchick around Fort Smith, one theme is often repeated — gratitude. "I was at the sack lunch program, and he came and knocked on the door. He said he could help me," Jean Kollejski, co-director of the Sack Lunch Program, said. "I didn't know who he was, but he knew how to get supplies and services to feed people in Fort Smith ... and I learned tremendously from him." "Ken will be greatly missed in our volunteer community. He has spent so many years dedicating himself to the needs of the lower-income and food-insecure populations in our community," Sharon Chapman, executive director of The Next Step Homeless Services, said.
